Dominic Bowden and mum Siobhan: “I know now everything Mum did, she did with my best interests at heart,” Dom says.
“There’s absolutely no way I’d be where I am today without her guidance and support.”
Brodie Kane and mum Jo: “From the moment she arrived, she was just wonderful, so chubby and happy. I can’t imagine life without a daughter now. We’re incredibly close,” Jo says of her beloved daughter.
““Growing up, Mum supported me 100% in anything I wanted to do,” Brodie reveals. “She taught me resilience, hard work, determination and believing in myself.”
Laurel Devenie & mum Gillian Skyrme: “Mum’s not decadent in any way and is acutely aware of her carbon footprint,” tells Laurel. “I really admire how Mum sustains herself in a world where people think they need everything.
“It wasn’t that she was strict – she was teaching me an important lesson I never knew I needed. I know I’ll be the same with my children.”
Miriama Kamo, mum Mary & daughter Te Rerehua: “My mother amazes me,” says Miriama. “She’s put her heart, soul and back into helping other people, but she refuses to see it as selfless, as she says the work gives to her as much as she gives to it.”
“It’s made me think, ‘How can I be of use? What am I doing to lift others up?’”
Matilda Rice and mum Di: “She’s let me in on hundreds of pearls of wisdom over the years, but the greatest lesson she ever taught me is to never rely solely on anyone else,” says Matilda.
“Even if you’re in a relationship, it’s still so important to have your own financial independence and be able to stand on your own two feet.”
