We would like to thank you for supporting Dena 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.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing my son grow up to be handsome young man he has become and just taking care of him quietly time is the enjoyment for me and him

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

One memory that I can think of is when my son got sick and he just looks so out of place but being there as a mother and reassuring him that it’s OK you’re gonna make it was the best feeling of knowing and telling him that you’re not going anywhere and Mommy is here

What would you do with $20,000?

Take care of my son the way my parents took care of me is very hard to be a single mother and striving to be the great mother that we all want to be, but it’s very hard and challenging as sometimes but yes, I will take care of my son because for a year he has not received a lot of things that he would want because for a year I wasn’t working And taking care of my mother who has dementia is a battle and kidney disease it’s hard so if I won I would take it and put for his college tuition
