Tanisha Dodson

I am GOD SENT. Given a 2nd chance at life surviving a diabetic coma at 8yrs old which was 32 yrs ago and being blessed with my 2 children

Placed 20th

in their group

We would like to thank you for supporting Tanisha Dodson 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?

I'm blessed to actually have a change in title from daughter to mother. I actually pat myself on the back for not throwing in the towel during this journey. My 20 yr old lost her dad to the system at 3mos and my 8 yr old lost his dad at 3yrs due to gun violence. I'm blessed to have managed to overcome what I thought was the end. I'll be 40 in October. I'm a 32 yr Type 1 diabetic and I'm still standing . That's why you have to encourage yourself and have faith over fear. Thank GOD

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

I will never forget the days that I gave birth to my children - my daughter Amia (ah-me-ah) 4-5-2005 and my son Carta (car-tuh) 1-19-2017

What would you do with $20,000?

I would focus on paying off any debts. I would consider investing in the business I always wanted to start just to keep my savings account growing so that my children can be on the path of righteousness and also we can continue to and experience life
