Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

It’s in those quiet moments,on the days and nights when doubt creeps in. When you wonder if you’ve done enough, if you were present enough. When guilt weighs heavy because maybe you were too tired, too distracted, or too frustrated after cleaning the same mess for the hundredth time. And yet, despite it all, your child still reaches for you with love in their eyes, reminding you that, to them, you are more than enough.

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

I can’t pick just one because I have four kids, and each of them has given me unforgettable memories. But If I was to choose just one it would be when my two older kids were 4/5years of age and they joined me in going to subway to have 75 sandwiches made to then give out to the homeless in the city.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I would finally take a step toward a dream that has been on my heart for as long as I can remember to help children in need. I’ve always wanted to be a philanthropist, to create a space where kids feel safe, loved, and supported. Whether it’s providing food, school supplies, or simply a place to feel heard, I want to make a difference in their lives.This money would be the start of something bigger a chance to turn my passion into action and bring hope to those who need it most
