I am a full time student, mother, and employee! I have an eight year old son diagnosed with Autism. I try my best to balance life for us.
We would like to thank you for supporting Jaleesa Blackshear 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.
When my son tells me, he loves me or shows his appreciation for me. Whenever I feel bad, he takes care of me.
What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?I woke up in the middle of the night and I felt really sick. I had been throwing up all night. The next morning, my son got dressed and he had to take the bus to school. He knew I wasn’t feeling my best. About 15 minutes on the bus, the bus driver called and said, “Hey, your son is crying for you!” I said, “Let me talk to him!” I told, “I will be fine & I will see you when you get home. Don’t worry!” My eight year old who has Autism is the sweetest and caring person ever! We’re two peas & a pod!
What would you do with $20,000?I need a new car, the one I have now isn’t reliable anymore. I’m a full student with a full time job & a full time mother. I’m just trying to provide a better life for my son and I.
