Couple slips $1K in various baby products to help struggling new parents [Video]
- Patrick and Krystal Duhaney hid $1K bills into baby products at various Target stores.
- The couple experienced financial challenges when they were starting out as new parents.
- They have become successful in their business and wanted to pay it forward to help new parents.
They once struggled making ends meet when they were starting out as parents, but now that they have thrived financially, this couple wanted to pay it forward — one dollar at a time.
“When we had our first baby, we struggled to make ends meet,” Krystal Duhaney wrote in the video clip she shared on Instagram in April. “Now that I own a successful business, I wanted to give back.”
Krystal and her husband Patrick recently hid a total of $1000 cash inside random baby products, such as unopened formula lids and diaper boxes, at various Target stores in Southern California.
The couple knew it was the right thing to do, especially with the success of their business. Krystal is the founder of Milky Mama, a company that provides breastfeeding support to parents around the world.
“Being a parent can be tough! “Before I founded @milkymamallc, we often struggled to make ends meet,” she wrote in the post. “So, Hubby and I went to various @target stores in Southern California and hid money in baby items. We hope that the parents that purchase these items have a brighter day when they find our gifts.”
The post has since become viral, reaping 87,000 likes and hundreds of praises from users.
“Wow! That is so awesome! Bless you and your family! This is beautiful. We need more people like you in this world,” wrote one user.
“This is absolutely incredible! It gives me tears to think of a potential parent in need opening this. You’ve inspired me to do the same! God bless you!!” added someone else.
Based on the clip, the couple made stops at the Signal Hill, Manhattan Beach and Carson locations.
The mom of two noted to the outlet that they made sure not to tamper with any of the products, especially with the ongoing COVID-19.
“Diaper containers are sealed. The diapers are wrapped inside the box as well as formula,” she explained. “It’s not like we’re putting it in the powder. There’s a cover. So, we were very, you know, intentional and we were making sure that we paid close attention to those types of things as well, to make sure that we weren’t actually contaminating anything.”
The couple hopes that their kind gesture will inspire people, including children, to be kind, as “you never know what somebody’s going through.”
“We really wanted to make things a little easier,” Krystal told KABC. “Hopefully brighten their day and hopefully inspire others to kind of, you know, spread joy and kindness.”
