Mom Donates Birthday Cakes In Honor Of Her Daughter
Scottsdale, Arizona mom Ashley Santi buys a cake every year for a child she doesn’t know, on what would be her daughter’s birthday, December 27th. Her daughter, McKenna Jodell, tragically died at 9 months old after a TV fell on her, causing her to suffer a traumatic brain injury. Each year Ashley goes to a local cake shop and pays for a stranger’s cake before they have picked it up. She said shopkeepers are sometimes confused by her desire to purchase a stranger’s cake. “Each year I do this random act of kindness because I am unable to buy my daughter a cake of her own.”
