I am a super mom to an autistic child and a wife to a cancer survivor- brings a unique, intense blend of challenges and immense resilience.
We would like to thank you for supporting Shana Gay Holness Richards 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.
The most rewarding part is witnessing my child’s joy from small moments, such as his smiles, laughters and sitting on my lap, and touching my face. And more interestingly providing a sense of purpose, personal growth, and meaning my son’s existence.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?The changes you go through when you become a mom -how to help a tiny human grow. We all know raising an autistic kid can be difficult: tantrums, tempers and the occasional bad attitude, those quiet moments, when you get to snuggle in close to your child. As a mom, these little moments truly are to be celebrated rather small but unique moments to bond with your child. As a mom I don’t wait for the next big thing but just enjoy each day with my son.
What would you do with $20,000?1. Build an Emergency Fund: Establish a rainy-day" fund, ideally covering 3–6 months of living expenses, for improved financial security. 2. Down Payment: Use the money towards a down payment on a house or a rental property. 3. Education/Career Development: Invest in training, certifications, or a master's program to increase earning potential.
