TN Woman’s wish to donate a birthday cake kit has come true

I always brag about my former students who attended Princeton Community High School. can’t help. I am so proud that they are grown up and doing great things in their communities.

One student who always stood out to me and couldn’t make it to the stage was Abby Raber. She got to know Abby because I was teaching instead of her teacher. But she was too busy with sports to persuade her to audition for plays and musicals.

As a teenager, Abby was a fierce competitor, a good sportsman, popular, popular, funny, positive, helpful, kind, and thriving in the hallways, classrooms, and gymnasium of Princeton Community High School. Had a beautiful smile that illuminates. school.

Abby is now growing up as a wife and mother in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. If you look at what’s going on in her life through Facebook, you’ll see that she’s grown into a wonderful woman who is even more tolerant and kind than she was in high school. is getting brighter.

On Facebook, I saw her posting something she had to share with you. I am so proud of her and she asked her if she could share her wishes for her birthday and her act of kindness with you.This is what she said am,

yes! Absolutely, hopefully I can inspire someone else to do the same!!

A Facebook post she made after delivering the kit included great photos of the process and some help from friends. This is what it said.

Did it! This morning we delivered his 207 birthday kits to our local food bank. It included rainbow chip cake mix, rainbow chip icing, sprites (instead of oil and eggs), birthday candles, 5 balloons, and a happy birthday cake plate. Packaged in a disposable cake tin.

Few people know that when I started this fundraiser, we were on our way to Cincinnati to spend Christmas with Craig’s family. Stuck on Highway 71 for 16 hours, I checked Venmo to see how much money I had raised in such a helpless situation. So to all of you who donated, you were a light to me while I tried to be a light to others.To make my 38th birthday a memorable one for me. Thank you to everyone who donated! If you can’t see the light, be the light!

When I asked Abby how much money she had raised to make 207 kits, she said:

We raised $1234 in our first donation round. I then decided to push a second time and ended up with $2034. Honestly, I’m still pretty mad!
