An immigrant mom raising strong, kind kids while using my voice to protect and advocate for others.
We would like to thank you for supporting Rachel Parise 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.
Watching my children grow with a happy spirit into kind, confident little humans is the greatest reward! Motherhood has taught me that the smallest moments shape who they become. As a first-generation immigrant, it means everything to raise children who understand their roots, lead with compassion, and grow with strong hearts.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Motherhood taught me that love is both strength and responsibility. Children learn more from how we live than what we say. It pushes me to grow into the best version of myself so my children feel safe, confident, and loved. I strongly believe that every child deserves a voice and protection.
What would you do with $20,000?I’d first take my family on a meaningful vacation to celebrate together! Then I’d use the rest to grow my advocacy through my partnerships with Childhelp and Boys & Girls Clubs of America supporting children’s safety and mental health through education and resources that help parents recognize and prevent child abuse. Because every child deserves to grow up safe, seen, and supported.
