As a DV survivor and single mom, I’m doing it all on my own—showing up daily, loving fiercely, and never quitting for my kids.
We would like to thank you for supporting Cavalla Saunders 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 watching your love shape who they become. Pouring into them and seeing them feel safe, confident, and deeply loved because of you. It’s in the small moments. Their laughter, their trust, the way they run to you—that you realize you’re their home.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?The biggest lesson motherhood has taught me is the importance of loving and choosing myself. Leaving an unsafe situation was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but my children were counting on me to be safe so they could be safe. Motherhood taught me that strength isn’t just enduring—it’s walking away, rebuilding, and showing them what courage looks like.
What would you do with $20,000?I would use the $20,000 to continue building a safe, stable life for my children. Legal fees have quickly added up as I’ve fought to protect and provide for them on my own. This support would give us breathing room, security, and the ability to keep moving forward without fear.
