Making birthdays brighter
The challenge
As a single mom living with her parents and child, Taren had a lot on her plate. With her daughter's birthday around the corner, she had saved throughout the year for the celebration. But on the day of the party, she realized she had fallen short on funds for food for 12 kids.

I stash money all year when I can for her birthday and then I fell short.

It was nice knowing that I could tend to myself on her big day.
