I’m a heart transplant recipient (11-3-17) as well as a single mother. After my transplant, I began modeling professionally.

I still feel 20! I love that I’m 50 because it shows I’m a survivor. The road to 40 has been a long, tough journey and far from over. I received my transplant (heart) at 33 years old and had no idea that I’d live to see 40.
How do you stay fabulous?My faith in God! I talk to him daily and I know he’s the reason I’ve made it this far! I keep a healthy regimen by working out 3-4 days out of the 7 during the week. My 13 year old son is the light of my life! He inspires me to keep going!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would definitely invest into my son’s education as well as hobbies. He’s an entrepreneur and has a lemonade stand every summer(since the age of 7). I’m a single mother and life since my transplant have been very difficult for us financially. I’d take a trip with him and show him some of the things I never say as a child.
