Homeschooling 3 kids, military life, and advocating for my nonverbal, medically complex child, while helping other families do the same.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ashly Barta 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.
The most rewarding part of being a mom is the deep, unconditional connection I share with my children. In the hard moments and the victories, I see their strength and resilience. Being their voice, their comfort, and their constant is both a privilege and my greatest purpose.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Motherhood has taught me to let go of expectations and celebrate what is. Strength isn’t in having all the answers it’s in showing up, loving fiercely, and never giving up on your child.
What would you do with $20,000?I would use $20,000 to create a safe, adaptive backyard designed for my special needs son, a space where he can explore, play, and feel free. It would be a place where we can connect, make memories, and simply enjoy being together.
