Widow mom, miles from family, raising two boys, co-parent with late husband’s ex. I’m strong, selfless, and unstoppable.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lauren Buie 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 being able to give my boys unconditional love and support, no matter what life brings. We’ve been through so much together, and the way we continue to show up for each other every day—that’s what makes it all so fulfilling.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?The biggest lesson motherhood has taught me is that I can do hard things and still lead with love. I never knew how strong I was until I had to be, and that even when patience runs thin, love carries us through.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, I would use it to build a stronger foundation for my boys—helping with their future, easing some of the day-to-day pressures, and creating moments of joy for us along the way. We’ve been through a lot together, and being able to give them both stability and happiness would mean the world to me.
