I never imagined a $5 pair of baby shoes would change my life. But when I slipped them onto my son’s feet and heard a strange crackling sound, everything shifted. I’m Claire, a single mom to my three-year-old son, Stan. Life hasn’t been easy between working late nights, raising my son, and caring for my bedridden mother, every dollar matters. On a foggy Saturday morning, with only five dollars left in my wallet, I went to a flea market hoping to find affordable shoes for Stan.
