Levi, a young boy with a big heart, loved his cozy home and his parents, Carol and Darren, even though they didn’t have much.
They shared a tight bond, supporting one another through everything. But as Halloween approached, Levi became upset.
His school was holding a costume competition, and while his friends would show up dressed as superheroes like Superman and Batman, Levi didn’t have a new costume. His parents simply couldn’t afford it.
Carol sighed, feeling her heart break a little. “We love you more than anything, Levi. You’re what matters most to us,” she said, but her words didn’t seem to reach him. Levi ran to his room in tears, shutting the door behind him and refusing to come out, even for dinner.
One evening, Carol tried to explain to Levi why they couldn’t buy a new outfit. “Honey, you know how much we’re trying to save to keep our home. The mortgage payment is so important right now,” she said gently.
