My daughter’s unconditional love for me🩷I have always found myself to be someone who strives for self improvement so that I am able to use my empathetic nature to spread love/help others without wearing myself out, especially as a physical therapist. Since my daughter was born, my 16 year long journey with an eating disorder has improved immensely because my motivation to heal has changed—it’s her. My daughter is my reason for everything❤️

Her birth will forever be an unforgettable experience! My water broke when I was 32 weeks pregnant-3 days before my husband’s annual fundraiser event for pancreatic cancer, 4 days before my baby shower, and 5 days before my moms huge surprise retirement party. Then I was hospitalized for 2 weeks until our sweet angel was ready to come out into the world (a little too early which led to her stay in the NICU). This experience was very scary for us but she’s thriving now! 😊

I believe in spreading kindness and gratitude, therefore the first thing I would like to do is help a family who is struggling financially with having a premature baby. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to healthcare and life saving measures for their child. I would want another family to feel the same sense of joy and relief we felt as we left the NICU with our daughter. Because of the life saving medical care and a reliable team of HCPs, we are blessed with the most precious gift🩷
