It can be so hard to decide what to give your mom for Mother’s Day. So this year, we asked some children we work with what they would give their mothers if they could give them anything in the world this Mother’s Day.<\/p>\n

Their answers range from sweet to practical to downright silly, but all are filled with heartfelt appreciation and love. Here’s what they had to say.[vc_row 0=””][vc_text_separator title=”El Salvador”][vc_single_image image=”17726″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text 0=””]Pedro, 11, is a World Vision sponsored child in El Salvador<\/b><\/a>.
