"Everyone knows about Mother's Day and Father's Day . . . even National Pizza Day. But nobody knows about Single Parent's Day."

So starts a sweet tribute from Angel Soft honoring single parents that is totally going to make you bawl your eyes out. In the video, three single parents — Kylia, Liz, and Jonathan — admit that they haven't even heard of the national day celebrating single moms and dads. However, they also admit to the struggles they go through day in and day out because of the fact that they're parenting solo.

"Because I was a single parent, I lived paycheck to paycheck," Kylia says. "So I would try to find affordable housing. You know what they say: you get what you pay for." Jonathan added, "Rent and childcare are the two kickers — that's where everything goes!"

To help these parents doing their best to raise good kids all on their own, Angel Soft had a touching surprise for each of these three deserving parents based on their most immediate needs: a year of rent money for Kylia, a year of childcare payments for Jonathan, and a year of free preschool for Liz.

The reactions that come from these grateful parents will bring a tear (or three) to your eye and make you want to hug any of the single parents in your life. And if you're a single parent, hear Angel Soft's final message: "When you're raising a child, be soft. When you're doing it alone, be strong."
