It’s not one big moment—it’s the quiet, everyday proof that you are shaping a human being. The way Pearl and Cyril are sweet, polite and caring to everyone shows me that, WE (as you know, it takes a village) are doing a good job raising them and showing them by being a good role model - it’s knowing that when they fall, they can run to us know questions asked

The biggest lesson motherhood has taught me is that it’s not about doing everything right—it’s about loving them through everything, good or bad!

I’ve always been a happy-go-lucky, glass-half-full, “we’ve got this!” kind of mom BUT… these past 18 months have been the toughest of my life. Even on the hardest days, I’ve still shown up for Pearl & Cyril with love, strength, and positivity—because that’s what moms do. No matter what’s going on behind the scenes, they deserve the best version of me, and I’ve made sure they get that every single day. This $20k wouldn’t just help financially—it would be a true turning point for my family.
