Trinity was ver upset over the weekend when her BFF asked her if
she was going to have a sweet 16TH Birthday Party and invite some
of their friends and maybe some boys.She told her she didn't know
yet.Her BFF mom over heard them talking about it and saw that
Trinity looked upset so she called me.She knows that we are having
some financial difficulties right now and are living at my moms
which is a very small house.She said she wanted to help out with
seeing if she can reserve the clubhouse in their neighborhood and
she would help with some drinks,chips and dip if I can get the
party supplies and maybe some pizzas for the kids.I told her I
would get back to her but am unsure what to do?My husband is
working but barely making enough to cover all the bills and his
boss is saving money out of each check so we can move out of my
moms two bedroom house in about two months and we barely have
anything left for gas and extra groceries when the foodstamps run
out.I really want to make this happen for her.She even suggested
that we make it a surprise and said her BFF can help by inviting
their friends.It would probably take 35-40.00 for Little Ceasars
Pizzas and about 30-35.00 for supplies from party city.Her mom said
that they have a small kareokee machine they could take down there
and a cd player for music.If anyone could help make this happen I
would appreciate it more than you know.I can still remember how
unpleasant my 16th was..my parents were going through a divorce,my
Dad wasn't having anything to do with me or my siblings and my mom
was working two part time jobs to pay rent and utilities.No one
even remembered it was my Birthday until later that evening and my
mom ran up to the store and bought a cake mix and icing and made a
cake.I apprecited it but can't say that I wasn't hurt a little that
it was so last minute.I just want her to feel special and have a
positive memory!!Birthday cards with a dollar maybe would be super
and I know she would appreciate it greatly!
