I’m a strong Solo Mom who left a DV marraige w/my 3 kids & make a new safe life where they can thrive. I don’t give up & I’m determined!
We would like to thank you for supporting Vanessa Whalen 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 feel confident and sure of myself! I’m proud how far I’ve come against the odds! I feel wiser and have life experience to give my kids the best life possible, teaching them to help others, bring more love to the world and be fabulous themselves!
How do you stay fabulous?I stay active with my kids & puppy! I love taking them on hikes to the waterfalls. I teach my kids to give to those in need whenever we can. I practice self care and being healthy and fit. I’ve also inspired and supported many others in DV relationships to find their own power. Making what I’ve been through have a positive purpose helps me heal and use that experience to thrive! I’ve shown my kids that despite all the odds you can do anything!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would take my kids on their dream vacation and put money towards our 1st home and build financial security! I am raising my daughters to be smart, kindhearted warriors like their mama and my son to continue being the kind soul who has been helping the elderly as well as being a hardworking entrepreneur since age 9! They deserve to celebrate how far we’ve come & see the beauty in life!
