Joy S.

1st time, single mom and I wasn't at my job long enough to get paid maternity leave. Being able to stay home with my daughter is my dream.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Raising a child that will contribute to society in a positive way and be self-sufficient. Also, being able to witness my daughters growth, success, and celebrate her accomplishments.

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

I won't ever forget her birth, pushing her out, and the overwhelming feeling of serenity I felt when she was laid on my chest.

What would you do with $20,000?

Set up my daughters accounts for her future no matter what she decides to do career wise. Pay off medical bills from her birth and doctors visits, and get by while on unpaid maternity leave.
