Locals Help Poor Dad Who Saved For A Year For Teens Bday

These images show a teenage girl being thrown a huge birthday party after her street seller dad saved up for a year and local businesses owners pitched in to help out.

Jose Manuel Duarte Cantu, a street seller in the city of Sabinas in the Mexican state of Coahuila, saved money for a year in order to surprise his daughter Perla Yadira on her 15th birthday, known as a ‘quinceanera’ in Latin America and is similar to an American ‘sweet sixteen’ party.

The father, who owns a street stall selling shaved ice and is well-known throughout the city, decorated his stall and dressed his daughter as a princess on her special day.
