Canethia Miller, 27, splurged through $10K intended for impoverished mothers She shared how she put a majority of her program cash into a luxury Miami trip Other young moms said they put the windfall into paying down their debts
A Washington DC mom has shared how she splurged most of a $10,000 taxpayer-funded lump sum intended for impoverished mothers on a luxury holiday to Miami.
Canethia Miller, 27, was accepted onto a DC government pilot last year as she and he three children were struggling to make ends meet. The Strong Futures program is one of many across the US - but the only one to offer the cash as a $10,800 lump sum, rather than in 12 smaller monthly installments.
'I wanted to blow it. I wanted to have fun,' she said. The spending spree included 15 brand new outfits for her kids - one for each child for each day of the vacation - and a $180 haircut to make her not 'look like a working, stressed mom.'
Joined by her children's father, they splashed out on luxury amenities including steak dinners, new gadgets and toys for her kids, brand new outfits, and a boat tour past Miami's most expensive mansions.
Miller justified the extravagance by saying she hoped to inspire her children and teach them that if they work hard they too may be able to afford a Miami mansion.
Miller said she splashed through the entire $10,800 in a matter of months and struggled to keep $50 in her savings account.
The young mom shared her story as part of a profile into DC's 'Strong Families, Strong Futures' pilot program, showing how the no-strings-attached money helped various low-income mothers.

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day”
This woman and her sons are a bad off today as they were before they were given the money.
For that kind of money she could have bought a decent used car.
Or each of them could have had a new mattress.
Many needs may have been satisfied.
I just remind them on pay day, to keep it in their pants.
You and I speaking the same thing. I believe in my original post I said that the non-custodial parent “might” be able to claim the kids if he’s the main bread winner (and his higher income was incorporated into the child support calculation so that he’s the main one paying for the kids’ welfare). In my case I had to get the judge to sign off on it (item 4) in what you linked to because I was the main one providing for the kids (item 2). I put that in a motion in a time my ex took us to court yet again to raise the child support (she was unsuccessful) and the judge granted it to me easy breezy.
It’s good to see some of the clothing her HANDOUT paid for.
stipulations with the handout
“Stipulations? stipulations? We don’t need no stipulations! We need reparations!”
When cruising through Miami intracoastal waterway, was the theme song from Miami Vice playing in the background?
I thought that was Fat Fani,,,
She is just gross. The woman should be ashamed, but she isn’t.
Looks like she spent most of it on her ugly self.

Yep, just providing the detail.
Before they join a gang and go to prison.
I had an idiot lefty relatives use this as an excuse to justify giving $10,000 cash cards to illegal invaders: “well, at least they’re spending the $$ on the U.S. economy!”
Don’t even know where to start with such clueless morons - college edumacated too...
This is exactly why I have male family members in their 30s with great IT jobs - single and plan to stay that way.
They’ve seen their colleagues get taken to the cleaners by ex-wives - the court system is stacked against them to be sure.
I married my wife in 1972. I retired the first of last year, and now that I’m spending all my time with her, I’m starting to notice little things that are making me very suspicious. I’m not sure, but I’m really starting to suspect that she may be the one.
Good for you.
I suspected the same about my husband of 38 years - up until the day he died in my arms a few months ago.
I split with my wife something like 70-30 her. But, other than the house, it all went to her in monthly payments over a decade. I agreed to this because I wanted to be sure she would have a reasonable lifestyle for my kids when they were with her (50-50). And, I hoped she would not have to find some guy just for the $ support he would provide who would be trying to raise my kids. And, I knew she would blow a lump sum on useless crap like she did when we were married.
It worked.
I am SO sorry. I hope you are OK.
Just remember, she did so now you can’t.
