We would like to thank you for supporting Shelley Zapata 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?

Knowing I created these incredible human beings. Watching them blossom before my eyes while being able to be a small part of who they become. The greatest gift for me is watching them reach their goals and knowing as I live out the rest of my life with my heart completely full of the love we have.

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

Newly single I recently celebrated my birthday thinking I would be alone all day. When I arrived home from work I had found that they all had completely decorated my house and all showed up to take me out to dinner. It was a real special treat and I felt so loved.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 I could almost pay off my truck which would significantly lower my bills in order to have enough breathing room each month to make more memories which is a little slim right now. I could help my son put money down on his first house and I could get my medical insurance active again to deal with my heart condition.
