We would like to thank you for supporting Amanda DePaola in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my kids grow into their own people. Seeing their personalities, confidence, and kindness develop makes everything worth it. Even on the hard days, knowing I’m their safe place and biggest supporter is the best feeling in the world.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Motherhood has taught me patience and how strong I really am. It’s shown me that I can handle more than I ever thought, and that love can be deep, messy, and still the most beautiful thing. It also taught me to slow down and appreciate the little moments.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d use it to create a more stable future for my kids, and pay down bills, build a savings cushion, and invest in my education and career so I can keep growing and provide even more for them long term.
