Though my life has never been easy, I’ve learned many valuable lessons. Disabled by a drunk driver, survived domestic violence and abuse, cheated on and divorced while working on my second nursing degree amidst a pandemic… Life has made a very resilient fighter out of me. I believe that is purely so that I can show my children, by example, that a positive attitude, hard work, faith, and a fighting spirit are all it takes to conquer any obstacle in life.
How do you stay fabulous?I put all my energy into being the best mom, daughter, friend, and person I can be. I help others any way I can, and teach my children to do the same. I live to make memories and learn new things every day.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would repair the financial hemorrhage created by predatory sales and lending, and further worsened by dishonest movers. I’ve been financially devastated and we’ve had most of our belongings damaged, and HUGE bills created by movers who’ve disappeared. I’m presently fighting to save our home, manage major car repairs, and am awaiting diagnosis for major health issues. After that, the plan is to begin working towards opening a small medical aesthetics studio where ALL WOMEN can feel comfortable.
