Watching my twins grow into strong, thriving little people after such a fragile start is everything to me. There were moments in the NICU when I didn’t know what the future would look like, and now I get to witness their joy, their strength, and their personalities shine every day. Seeing how far they’ve come and knowing I helped carry them through that, means more than I can put into words.

Motherhood has taught me that strength shows up in ways you don’t expect. I’ve learned how to keep going even when I’m scared, how to advocate fiercely for my children, and how to trust myself. It’s also taught me to let go of perfection and focus on what really matters, being present, loving hard, and showing up for them no matter what.

I would use that money towards a down payment to buy a home for my family. After everything they’ve been through, having a stable place that’s truly ours would mean security, peace, and a foundation for their future. It wouldn’t just be a house, it would be a space filled with love, growth, and new memories for our family.
