We would like to thank you for supporting Tarah cooper 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?

Watching my boys become not only smart, and handsome men but knowing they are kind hearted and good humans. To watch them succeed and know their dedication to making there dreams a reality all while staying humble tells me I am doing something right even as a single mom who has played both roles of father and mother in the household for almost 10 yrs.

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

Gosh there are so many!!! But I think my top was our first yr when we got free from their father who was mentally and physically abusive and had a tiny apartment with nothing at all but ourselves yet we made it so fun with picnics in the living room for dinners, dance parties bc we had no tvs and just making the most of it with giggles and laughs finally relaxed and safe. They never complained or felt they were less than and I’ll never forget those moments of beginning our new life from scratch.

What would you do with $20,000?

Honestly I’m simple I just want to feel settled and breath alil so I’d put a down payment on the house we have been renting for 7yrs so that I was no longer throwing away money on something that isn’t ours & B an asset. I’d also like to pay of my car so I no longer have to struggle to make the monthly payment. If I can wiggle a little chunk and put it away for the kids college to help I’d do that too bc right now it’s all on them unfortunately. Even though we are hoping for some scholarships lol
