I gave birth while sick with COVID and now fight every day to support and advocate for my special needs child with love and strength.

The most rewarding thing for me as a mom is seeing my child healthy, well-fed, and taken care of. Knowing she feels safe, protected, and loved—even when she can’t always express her feelings, means everything to me. I want her to feel like she can just be herself without any pressure. And honestly, seeing her happy, even in the simplest moments, makes it all worth it.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?The biggest lesson motherhood has taught me is to put my family first. I used to care a lot about what other people thought of me and would try to please everyone just to be liked. But becoming a mom changed that. Now, my priorities are clear. My family comes before anything else. I’ve learned to let go of the need for approval and focus on what truly matters. The love I have for my family is so strong that protecting our peace and choosing them every time just feels right.
What would you do with $20,000?I will put it in my child’s Bank for her college in the Future.
