Domestic violence survivor, mother, & paralegal who overcame adversity with resilience, humor, and gratitude. Life is a gift at 40+
We would like to thank you for supporting Mildred Gomez in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love the wisdom, confidence, and freedom that comes with being over 40. With grown kids, I can travel more, explore new cultures, and live on my terms! Life is a gift. My humor, positivity, and unbreakable spirit have guided me through the hardest times, and it’s these qualities that make me proud to stand as a fabulous woman over 40.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay true to myself and surround myself with positive people. I prioritize my health, stay active, and explore new experiences and places. Life is a university, and I choose to be a lifelong learner to keep growing! I also love to help others and spend time with my family & friends.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would pay off my car loan and a few credit cards, then invest some of it. I’d also donate to the Tomorrow’s Children Fund in Hackensack, NJ, an organization close to my heart. They along with the medical staff, supported my daughter during her battle with cancer as a baby, and I’m forever grateful for the incredible work they do for children with cancer and their families living through such difficult times.
