Throughout life I had struggled with my being a single parent trying to work to stay off of Welfare. My mother had such a difficult time buying anything nice for us let alone herself because most of her paycheck went to bills and then to daycare costs. So when I turned fifteen one of my dad's friend's who was a single mother was having a difficult time finding a babysitter for her kids during the summer time that she could afford. I offered to babysit them and when she told me how much she would pay me I told her not to worry about it. Now even though my friends at the time were making money with their babysitting gigs, mine was more rewarding.

I think that the best pay it forward is to offer a service to someone in need, this could be babysitting for someone to be able to work and provide for their family. I know that when my husband and I had a difficult time financially only one person would watch our children so we both could work, can you guess who? The lady who I used to watch her kids, for her to work almost ten years ago.
