I am the Mother of 10 children ranging in ages from 7 years to 29 years old. 8 boys and 2 girls.
We would like to thank you for supporting Nalish Francis 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.
Seeing my children develop into adults overcoming fears and walking in their individual leadership roles. The youngest to the oldest child each have their own personality traits which I love to identify and create opportunities for them to realize their strengths. The conversation I have with my children are the most rewarding part about being a mother of so many children.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?What I have learned over 29 years as a mother is that patience is the most important attribute a mother must develop to navigate motherhood. Patience with raising children as well as patience with yourself as a mother. We all want to be perfect mothers, however the truth is we will make mistake and miss it at times. Because as mothers we usually are in a full time position without brakes which can become overwhelming at times leading to feelings of self doubt. We must allow ourselves grace.
What would you do with $20,000?We had a family vehicle that was able to transport 9 of us for 10 years, this truck was a special part of our family. I had restored our truck in 2022 and February 4 2024, I along with 5 of my children on our way to church were in major car accident that wrote off my truck. My youngest children cried for months after the accident because they missed their truck. I would replace the truck with $20K.
