RICHMOND, Va. — One Richmond family got a shocking delivery last month when 80,000 pennies were dumped on their front lawn. Now, they’re using the money to help those in need.
“I just turned 18. When I was in the middle of class, my dad came by. He had rented a trailer,” Avery Sanford, a Deep Run High School senior, said. “He pulled up in front of the house and turned the trailer on so it dumped out all the pennies on the grass and my mom came out and was like, ‘What are you dumping in my yard?’ She didn’t know who it was until he shouted, ‘It’s your final child support payment.”
The act had an impact on the teenager.
“It’s not just my mom he’s trying to embarrass, it’s also me and my sister and it’s upsetting that he didn’t consider that before he did that,” Sanford said.
Once the pennies were picked up, Sanford and her mom decided to turn a bad situation into a positive one.
