Holly Upchurch

I would say I try to be the best mother I can be, the mother I always needed, and an inspiration to those facing traumatic experiences.

We would like to thank you for supporting Holly Upchurch 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 children realize they can relate to me because we talk about everything. I'm I'm just an older one of them. Seeing them accomplish their own goals by motivating them to take some risks that won't harm them but boost their self confidence.

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

I'll never forget when my son and my husband sons first got to go hiking the day we got married, blending our families and seeing how all of us together, make complete sense as a family. And realizing what family really is.

What would you do with $20,000?

I grew up in an abusive household. I had come back to live with the people I considered my parents at the time, that was the only option I knew was available, but said if they helped me, i had to get my tubes tied. After meeting my husband and blending our families, I want so badly to have more children with him. But in order for me to do that I have to go through the surgery of getting my tubes untied, which is a good chunk of cash. The rest Id spend making sure our house is paid off.
