Free RegistrationMy son is my inspiration. I left my profession after his autism diagnosis to be available to him. I created a line called The Qari Collection which are items in support of autism (t shirts, tumblers, key chains, bracelets, etc).
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated with the help of my son. This will all be his someday. He is the happiest little boy I know and although faced with challenges, he doesn’t let that get him down.
What would you do with the $25,000?Continue to build and promote my small business. This is an additional source of income for me since leaving my job and it also helps me mentally deal with caring for an autistic child and the other worries of the world.
