The most rewarding part of being a mom is the ability to raise good kids that will become great adults. Teaching the girls how to, love themselves for who they are and encourage them to work hard at everything they love (and even what they don't love). I enjoy taking on new challenges with the girls and finding out the strength we have in our family divided amongst each of our spiritual gifts. "Teamwork makes the dreamwork" a constant reminder that the whole unit benefits from.

Motherhood has taught me that how much I can handle for resilience is far greater than I ever imagined. It's the art of being "everything" even when you feel like "nothing" is left in the tank. It's taught me that leadership isn't about being perfect; it's about showing up, taking the hits, and building a foundation of grace and grit for my girls to stand on. Most of all, it's taught me that love is a verb-it's an action of protecting, providing, and always finding a way to make it happen.

With $20,000, I'd lead with love and purpose. First, I'd sponsor more children — every child deserves to feel seen. Then I'd take my girls across the country and overseas to witness God's work in places we've only dreamed of. Seeing the world through their eyes would be priceless. I'd invest in a food truck and a camper — building a life of freedom and community. And for once, I'd breathe easy knowing my family is provided for.
