What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mother of six is giving my children a life better than I ever had filled with love. Knowing that my children appreciate everything I do, they see my sacrifices and the fact that they trust me everyday to always be there for them is the best feeling any mother can ever ask for. Their laughter hugs and the little moments we share remind me that I’m doing something right on my worst days. They give me purpose beyond words.

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

As a mother of six there are countless unforgettable moments, but one that will always stay with me is when my children lifed me up during a tough time. I was physically, emotionally, and mentally drained. I thought I was hiding it well but they saw through me. Instead of asking what was wrong they surrounded me with so much love the oldest took charge helping the younger ones. And she told me “she had me” and they gave me the hug I never knew I needed.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 I would use the money to give us a home of our own a place where we can feel safe comfortable and truly settled. My children deserve stability and a space to call theirs. This money would help make that dream a reality, giving them the life and memories they truly deserve. And if there is something left I would finally take my family on our first ever vacation. We’ve never had the chance to travel together. They deserve that experience.
