I'm a single mom and my job is to provide for my daughter and ensure a happy childhood for her.
We would like to thank you for supporting Deana Castillo in this year's Super Mom competition. Your participation allows us to aid Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in their commitment to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
Being able to give her the childhood she deserves. To get the random hugs to when she runs up to me and says "I love you" let's me know I'm doing great at providing for her.
What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?A memory I had my first break down. Being a newly single parent and trying to be on top of everything I cracked. I was in bed crying and she came in and held my face in her hands telling me "don't cry mom everything is going to be okay." I felt guilty for her having to see me like that. I will always be grateful for that day because it made me realize that as long as she's happy I'm doing my job correctly and ensuring she has a great childhood.
What would you do with $20,000?If I had 20,000 I would definitely put a portion away for emergencies. I would also take my daughter to get a whole new wardrobe and take her on a vacation. She keeps seeing commercials for Disney world and begs me she wants to go so that would definitely be where we would go. I'd also want to launch my own business with creating homemade candles and bars of soaps. We have nothing like that around here and I've done so much research on it all.
