As a conservative, Christian mother, I am deeply committed to raising my children in an America where they feel safe, free, and proud — an America full of attainable dreams, just as it was for me. I want them to grow up believing that their hopes and ambitions are within reach.
Many of the core values that once defined our nation — God, family, and country — are being challenged today, along with the fundamental freedoms we hold dear. These are the values that I, like so many others, want to pass on to my children.
That’s why I stand with former President Donald Trump. His vision isn’t just about making America great again — it’s about securing a brighter, enduring future for families. For mothers including me, nothing matters more than the legacy we leave for the next generation.
For many of us mothers, raising a family has become an uphill battle. Family essentials such as larger vehicles and bigger homes, along with everyday expenses, have all become alarmingly expensive. Energy bills are sky-high — the average electricity price of a U.S. household has surged nearly 22% between 2018 and 2023. Food prices are up 28% since 2019, which means every grocery run brings sticker shock, forcing us to make tough decisions about the rest of our paychecks.
Growing our families should be a joyful choice, but it feels daunting in today’s economic climate. I’ve heard from friends who say they’re done having children because it’s too costly. Many of these families already have two parents working full-time, sometimes even extra jobs, just to stay afloat.
It’s heartbreaking to see young parents question whether they can expand their families when this should be a time of excitement and possibility. Today’s cost of living isn’t just delaying plans — it’s erasing them.
I’m genuinely concerned about my children’s future in a world where affordable homes are becoming increasingly scarce and the cost of living is skyrocketing. Will they be able to buy homes, support their own families, or even feel financially secure in a country that’s becoming unaffordable? Many young adults are forced to stay home longer because they can’t manage the bills to live on their own. I want my children to inherit an America where they can achieve their dreams, not one where they are priced out of them.
Beyond financial strain, safety has become a top concern for mothers across the country. We all want to raise our children in secure, stable communities, but public safety has been compromised by the general lawlessness and relaxed immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration. Tens of thousands of criminals, including rapists, murderers, and gang members, according to new Immigration and Customs Enforcement data, are crossing our borders, bringing with them dangerous drugs such as fentanyl that are devastating our communities. The surge in violent crime and the increase in drug-related deaths have made it harder for families to feel safe in their own neighborhoods.
Living in Florida, a state affected by the current administration’s open border policies and night flights full of immigrants, I’ve witnessed firsthand the consequences of these decisions. I personally know a man who was shot in the face by people who entered the country illegally in a nearby neighborhood. Mothers shouldn’t have to live in fear, worrying about their children’s safety every time they walk to school or play outside.
The open-border policies and lenient approach to crime we’ve seen from the current administration have only made things worse. We need to get back to serious policies that prioritize the protection of families and secure our borders to prevent more danger from flooding into our communities.
In addition to safety and affordability, another important issue that mothers, including me, care about is raising our children in a culture that respects their freedom of speech and protects their faith. I want my children to know they can speak freely about their Christian beliefs without fear of retribution.
However, we are increasingly witnessing a society where faith is treated as a taboo topic and Christian values are pushed aside or even censored. We have created an anti-God culture that confuses children about their gender, promotes the extermination of the unborn, encourages the sexualization of our children, and allows men to compete in women’s sports.
When Christians speak out based on biblical truths, many are labeled as bigots or accused of hate speech. We’ve heard from Democratic leaders who have said they would gladly censor “hate speech” or “disinformation.” As a mother, I want my children to grow up in a country where they can proudly champion their faith and where our shared values of God, family, and country are celebrated, not condemned.
I want my children to grow up in a country they can be proud of — a country that values the principles it was founded on. I want them to live in a safe, affordable, and free America, where they can speak their minds and practice their faith without fear.
This is why I trust Trump. He is committed to securing our nation and building a brighter future for fathers, mothers, and children. He understands that the strength of our nation lies in the strength of our families, and his policies reflect that commitment.

Becoming energy independent, cutting taxes, and imposing tariffs are all promises Trump is committed to fulfilling again — measures that will help drive down everyday costs for mothers including me. And whether it’s championing free speech, standing up against censorship, or enforcing strong border security to keep our children safe, Trump has consistently shown his dedication to protecting the future of the American family.
To my fellow mothers, let’s be clear: Our children’s futures are at stake. They deserve a country that is safe, affordable, and rooted in the principles of free speech and faith. That’s exactly what Trump is fighting for. This is why I proudly stand with him — because our children deserve a bright future. This mother is for Trump!
