BERKELEY, NJ— 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 Vanessa Manna who nominated Tina Manna of Berkeley.

What makes your Mom extra special?

My mom has gone through a lot in life recently, but that hasn’t made her stop being an amazing woman. Now on her own, she balance two jobs to pay for a roof over our heads and food on the table yet still makes time to make memories.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

She is one of the strongest women I know and knows how to overcome anything while always having a huge smile on her face and making sure we are always safe and happy.

Happy Mother's Day to Tina Manna, and thank you for all you do!
