My passion is my 2 year old daughter Nevaeh Lynn Moreno. I delivered on February 11th of 2016 during that time I was 15 years old. I witnessed how amazing it was to see a child go from the first day coming home till her 1st birthday then her second. The financial situation was not great at the time I delivered plus I was not prepared for what the cost were. My life had changed dramatically during the 1st year of becoming a parent. With the 1st year there were many struggles that were overcome. During this period of time I realized what I wanted for my daughter's future.

I was challenged by being a teen mom and my financial situation. It felt challenging having to take care of a baby, continuing to go to school, plus do homework.

My daughter is my motivation when I get up in every single day and pushes me to do things I never imagined. I'm not spoiling her but I want her to grow up knowing that she is loved and that she had all the support in the world from her family. I want to teach that she could be anything she sets her mind to. I want her to be whatever she plans to be in life because she has a very active imagination. I want her to know no matter what that her mom will be by her side if she needs advice, a hug, help with school work
