What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Being a mom is a thankless job, but seeing my children achieve amazing things has been the most incredible reward!

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

I will never forget the day my two-year-old son met his baby brother for the first time. It seemed he immediately understood his assignment to love and protect his little brother. All of my fears melted away in that moment. They are my strength, my purpose, my greatest gift.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I would finally be able to restore something I lost after having children—my smile. Multiple pregnancies took a toll on my dental health, leaving me with missing teeth and a deep insecurity that I’ve carried ever since. As a single mother, my children’s needs always come first, and expensive dental work has never been an option. But winning this contest would mean more than just fixing my teeth—it would mean reclaiming my confidence and my joy.
