Joliet Mom Of 7 Sweetest, Kindest Person, 'Holds It Down For Everyone'
Patch and T-Mobile are partnering to shine a light on awesome moms in the Joliet area. Meet Joanne Perez!

JOLIET, IL — Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!
Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.
This submission comes from Marisa Martinez, who nominated Joanne Perez of Joliet.
What makes your Mom extra special?
She is the sweetest and kindest person ever. She holds it down for everyone. She is very smart and will go out her way for anyone she knows.
Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?
She deserves it because she works hard for what she wants. She is the best Mother us 7 kids can ask for. I am very proud to say she is my Mother. She is always there when we need and want her. And it’s her time to shine. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. You deserve everything and more. Love you to the moon and back.
Happy Mother's Day to Joanne Perez, and thank you for all you do!
