As a single mother and business owner I strive to be the best for my daughter in every way—providing love, stability, and guidance.
We would like to thank you for supporting Erika Mendez 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.
Most rewarding part of being a mom is watching something you create become a beautiful, smart, grateful little girl! Growing up, i did not have half of the resources we have now and I am able to show my daughter how hard work pays off. As a single mother, working 2 jobs, owning a business, I make sure if front line with me to see how much work it takes to be able to do the things we are blessed to do. But to create a beautiful soul and leaving my mark is the most rewarding part of being a mom!
What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?A memory I will never forget is my daughter telling me flying in a plane is scary. I suffer from extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I was petrified to fly anywhere but when my daughter once started to say that I knew it was something i had to get over. I do not want my fears on my daughter that has hindered me in many ways but since then we have flown and I am now able to say I am not scared anymore.
What would you do with $20,000?I would break it down to catch up on dept, bills but of course reinvest some. I would treat my daughter and I to a make needed get away.
