Amanda is 29 and has a family of three, along with a baby boy on the way. Her eight-year-old son was diagnosed with Noonan syndrome. He is resilient and has not allowed obstacles to get in his way—including many surgeries and health complications. Amanda’s four-year-old Ariyah was diagnosed with Autism and is non-verbal; however, she is blossoming into a smart and courageous young girl despite her difficulties. Amanda expresses how both children came into her life at the right time, and being their mom inspires her to grow each day as she navigates her way through the challenges. She is learning to give them the best care she can.
When asked about her life, Amanda said, “I am a momma that's always on her toes, sleeping with one eye open, making sure both kids' needs are met! My life revolves around theirs, and they've given me my purpose in life. I usually go above and beyond for them, but I am struggling right now due to my relocation and pregnancy. We moved from NY to PA for a better environment and support from my mother. I was alone in NY and needed help, and now I'm struggling a bit more. But I have faith I will get us back to what we deserve."
