When Tina Klein was going through a difficult divorce, the process left her financially strained. The single mother was having difficulty making ends meet but then something amazing happened.
Like single mom Kelley Lewis who built a home for her family in crisis, Tina didn't ask for help: nope, she didn't want to put anyone out. Yet, the people in her community saw her struggles and got her the things she needs here and there. It was an incredible gesture that got her out of a difficult time.
"When my kids were little and I was going through a divorce things were hard for me financially. Even though I didn't ask for it, random strangers would step up to the plate and help me with whatever I needed," she says. "I wanted to give back to my community to do what others did for me."
Tina never forgot it, so when she started couponing in 2008 with the skills she learned from CouponMom, she knew that with all her savings she could finally give back.
When a checkout woman called her the "Super Coupon Woman," Tina stuck with it and began the Super Coupon Woman Foundation. She quickly turned $50 into $200 and donated that from charity… Then $500… Then $1,000. She wanted to keep challenging herself to see how much she could raise. Eventually, that number grew to $100,000.
One single mother, one big idea, $100,000 — hundreds of lives changed. You know Tina's kids can't help but look at their mommy with pride.
