We would like to thank you for supporting Moniqua Wilkins 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.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my daughter bloom into such a beautiful, intelligent, kind young lady. She resembles me in every aspect. She is resilient and brave. She is doing most things I was once afraid to do as a growing child. I am super proud of her.

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

One memory of my daughter I will never forget is when she was born. It was terrifying for me but may seem silly to other moms. She is my first and only child. When she was born, we waited for the infamous first cry; she was silent so I initially thought something was wrong. After they tapped her on her bottom, she let out a small meow. It made us all laugh in the delivery room.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would put the money in a high yield savings account to boost the amount for my daughter future college and other endeavors she will need money for. I want to give her the best chance at a great future without having to think about the financial stress.
