A divorced father in Virginia dumped 80,000 pieces of pennies (amounting to US$800.00) in his ex-wife\u2019s front yard to pay his final child support arrogantly and embarrassingly. On the contrary, the mother and her daughter decided to respond positively to the incident by donating all of the money to charity, and their heartwarming deed touched the hearts of people around the world.<\/p>\n

18-year-old Avery Sanford<\/strong><\/em> is a student at Deep Run High School in Glen Allen, Virginia. One day, when she was still in school, her father came by their home, driving an SUV connected to a dump trailer. Raising the back trailer of the truck, he discarded 80,000 pieces of pennies (1\u00a2 coin) in their front yard.<\/p>\n

Initially, Avery\u2019s mother, Raven Sickal<\/strong><\/em>, did not recognize the man and rushed outside to know what the commotion was about. When she came close to him, she realized it was her ex-husband who yelled, \u201cThis will be your last child support payment!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When Avery arrived from school, the coins were still littered on the sidewalk. Avery and her mother did not expect to receive the stack of pennies, leaving them shocked and devastated. \u201cIt\u2019s not just my mom he\u2019s trying to embarrass,\u201d<\/em> Avery said in an interview with WTVR. \u201cIt\u2019s also me and my sister, and it\u2019s upsetting that he didn\u2019t consider that before he did this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

However, Avery and Raven did not retaliate. Instead, they decided to donate all the money to Safe Harbor<\/strong><\/a>, a charity that aids survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredible,\u201d<\/em> Safe Harbor executive director Cathy Easter<\/strong><\/em> told Inside Edition<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThey are not defeated by these malicious actions, but they are united by deciding to continue noble and loving actions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Cathy added that the organization staff was very grateful for Avery and Raven\u2019s contribution. Unexpectedly, when the news went viral online, more people globally were inspired by the kindhearted deed of the mother-daughter duo and donated to the organization. The charity revealed that they received over US$47,000.00 in donations from the public.<\/p>\n
