Jaira Cruz

I sacrificed my career for my children and I don’t regret that. I suffered domestic violence by a narcissist and left for my kids safety.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Having children respecting others, all having 4.00, independent doing the chores at home because I work from home, oldest about to graduate with 4.00 and study to become doctor to help people who cannot afford a doctor, value my sacrifices, they don’t use bad words, humble, not interested on expensive clothing not purse or shoes because we are Christian and I thought them money comes and goes, but we, as family, will be together and we can’t be replace like a purse you can buy it again.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

As a single mother and I had to continue for my children and no time to cry. I focus on my kids and why they needed before me. I have a Bachelors, but move to Florida to new beginnings and always any penny for them. I had days of praying because I didn’t have the money to pay rent nor for gift for Christmas, but God is good and applied to a company and I pray they get the toys the wanted, but will be happy with any toy and God provide with the toys the wanted and always cried.I never buy for me

What would you do with $20,000?

I’m still struggling with money and will be so much help to buy a little house for my kids on a quiet place to listen to the nature, see my kids playing and listen to God and have a less pressure in my life. I can focus on the payment of my oldest for medical school and fix my old car.
