Sienna Powell, a 16-year-old girl raised by a single mother, always dreamed of attending her prom in a stunning dress. Her father had left the family years ago, leaving her mother, Lisa, to manage on a modest income as a bank teller.
Despite the financial struggles, Sienna did her best not to burden her mother, rarely asking for more than her basic needs. She even took on part-time jobs to help with household expenses.
Every time Sienna received a paycheck, she carefully set aside a small portion in a tin can hidden in her closet. She was saving for her dream prom dress—a luxurious, custom-made red satin gown she had long admired in a local boutique. The dress, priced at $2,000, was far beyond her mother’s financial means, but Sienna was determined to save enough to buy it herself.
