Living with MS, I choose positivity as a proud mom & wife, while pouring my heart into helping others through home care.
Help me bring home $40,000 and grace the cover of NewBeauty magazine!
I’ve found freedom in wisdom through self-reflection—embracing both the paths I’ve chosen and the lessons from those I’ve missed. I’m grateful to witness the rewards of raising independent children and now paying it forward by caring for my parents. I’ve discovered the beauty of loving deeply and being loved unconditionally. With renewed confidence and passion, I’m thriving in my career. All while living as my most authentic self.
Helping others is what makes me feel fabulous—professionally, by guiding families to restore balance through the right care and mentoring coworkers. Personally, a little retail therapy never hurts; finding the perfect outfit adds pep to my step! After years of struggle, this newfound confidence—inside and out—has truly been life-changing.
I would use the $40K to launch my two passions- fitness and MS awareness. I plan to kickoff my new nonprofit Mission Strength (MS) Multiple Sclerosis Inc. and host our first fundraiser to support families affected by multiple sclerosis. I’ll also finalize the patent and copyright for my workout program/ gear, pledging 22% of net proceeds to the nonprofit to give back and fuel the mission.
