Every day as a single mom, I balance work and nurturing my son. With love, resilience, and dedication, we turn challenges into triumphs.
We would like to thank you for supporting Katricia Occidor 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.
The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my son grow into his own person. Every laugh, every milestone, every moment of joy reminds me that all the hard work, late nights, and sacrifices are worth it. Knowing that I am his safe space and biggest cheerleader fills my heart in ways nothing else could.
What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?One memory I will never forget is the first time my son told me, “Mom, you’re my hero.” It was after a long day when I felt exhausted and overwhelmed, but in that moment, I realized that every effort, every sacrifice, and every hug mattered. That simple sentence reminded me why I push forward every day.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, I would invest in securing a better future for my son. Whether it’s saving for his education, creating new experiences for him, or building a more stable foundation for our family, every dollar would go toward making his life as bright and fulfilling as possible. I would also give back to other single moms who need support and encouragement on their journeys.
