I raise an awesome kiddo on the spectrum. He’s the light of my world and I advocate for him endlessly!
We would like to thank you for supporting Ashley Shumaker 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.
Getting to see him grow and flourish into the amazing human he is. I live for the moments that seem small for most, but are huge for us. He just started making friends at school and that’s been the biggest blessing to watch.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?You are not the same you were. You get transformed into a new person! You love deeper, your perspective on priorities changes and you get to be apart of your child’s journey. How lucky we are! This can also bring out some of the “rough” edges of your self you didn’t realize you had. But with this we grow and learn to be better humans.
What would you do with $20,000?I would buy a play set for the backyard! And I would put the rest in savings for him. We’re not sure what his future is going to look like, so I would lay this back in the event he can go to college or another type of support program to transition to adult living.
