I’m a single mom working at a restaurant in New York. The night before Thanksgiving, I worked until 11PM because I needed every dollar for rent. My child was asleep when I got home. I used my phone flashlight to put the turkey in the oven. Halfway through, I fell asleep on the kitchen floor. The next morning, my daughter said, “Mom, you’re like a superhero.” I almost cried. I’m not a superhero—just a mom trying to give her kid a normal holiday. #SingleMom #MinimumWageReality #ThanksgivingShift #CostOfLiving #RealLifeUSA
