Your Everyday Hero: Lourdes V.

My Mom (Mami) is the best mother in the world. She has put up with the toughest of times with me. I have Schizoaffective Disorder and suffer from constant insomnia. My mom has faith, courage, determination, love, kindness that I wish I could possess so dearly. She is always kind and lovely with all she meets. She is always eager to lend a hand. She cooks, cleans, washes, works, and deals with much chaos because of me. She has taught me to pray, she is my God Mother, and the love of my life. Lourdes is beautiful in every way.
