Shania Shaw

I've came from a hard past, by being a drug addict for a portion of my daughter's life, to being the best mom I can be for my babygirl

We would like to thank you for supporting Shania Shaw 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 fact that the little human you created looks up to you and sees everything you do. They see the good, the bad and the ugly and they love you endlessly no matter what. All the laughs and even the hard moments, all makes being a mom the most rewarding. There is no handbook to being a perfect mom, but you always try the best you can and always show up, they need you no matter what. And they'll forever remember the laughs and struggles you go through together. That's what makes it the best

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

I think it's all the memories you have as they grow, there isn't just one memory that's your favorite, because at the end of the day, every moment you and your kids make will always be those ones you cherish. So for me to just pick one memory is hard, because every moment and memory is one I won't forget and I will cherish

What would you do with $20,000?

I would make sure me and my daughter are set for as long as I can. I'd give her more of a stable future and future plan than what I had growing up. I'd put that money in her savings and just making sure she's taken care of because one day, I won't be here. And at least I'll know that my babygirl is set up for the brightest and best future she could have.
