We would like to thank you for supporting Isshandria "Izzie" Jackson 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?

Everyday I get with them is a reward to me. Because of the age I had my oldest I obviously wasn't around him for large chunks of time while I went to school, and for other reasons. I've also experienced losing a couple of 1st cousins early and the loss has made me extremely appreciative of the time and memories I have with them.

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

Their smiles 😁 They are very happy boys

What would you do with $20,000?

Start a college fund for my oldest with most of the money. I have a savings that usually holds no more than 1000 for emergencies. I live from check to check but have no major debt besides the $5000 it cost to have my infant and I can pay that off on my own. I'd also like to give my parents each $1,000. It's not much but it's just to show my appreciation for helping me raise my son I had when I was 14 year old.
