He Paid Child Support With THOUSANDS Of Pennies, But His Kid Got The Laugh Laugh..

A father made his last child support payment to his now 18-year-old daughter by delivering 80,000 pennies to her family’s front yard.

The Washington Post reported on the incident, where the Virginia teen shared she was inside her house when her dad, whom she hadn’t spoken with in years, drove up in a trailer and dumped thousands of pennies in their yard.

“I just turned 18. When I was in the middle of class, my dad came by. He had rented a trailer,” Avery told WTVR.

“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?'” Avery said. “She didn’t know who it was until he shouted, ‘It’s your final child support payment.'”

Video of the incident shows the father making the delivery on May 21, only a few days before his daughter Avery Sanford was expected to graduate high school.

“It’s upsetting that he didn’t consider that before he did that,” Sanford added, saying that her dad was not just “trying to embarrass” her mother, but her and her sister as well.

And while Avery found the incident “upsetting”, she has decided to make light of the bad situation by using the money to help “moms and children in need.”

The $800 was donated to Safe Harbor, a domestic abuse organization.

“Turning around and donating that money to moms and children in need, I feel like that really turns this situation into a positive,” Sanford said.
