"Seeing the world through the eyes of a child is the purest joy that anyone can experience." -Constance Zimmer Creating adventurous memories & traditions with my children, seeing their personal growth and milestones achieved, watching my children enjoy the simple things in life, and showing love like Jesus has been the most rewarding. The little moments and unconditional love we have shared with each other has been remarkable and uplifting.

For my bonus children an early favorite was the first Christmas we ever spent together. Creating a magical & memorable morning for the children & seeing their faces with gratitude made all the sacrifices of motherhood well worth it. For my baby boy, watching him come into this world was an unforgettable memory. After fertility challenges, a high risk pregnancy, & emergency c section, watching him take his first breath truly empowered me as a mom and as a woman.

I am heavily involved with community service projects and non profit organizations on local, national, and international levels. I would utilize the $20,000 to continue giving back to the community, donate to causes supporting children throughout the foster care community, and showcase to my children the importance of having a servants heart and empowering others. It would also be invested towards my children's futures, financial security & a family get away.
