Dime Time: A Lifeline for Teen Parents | Albuquerque News

In Albuquerque, a high school for teen parents is turning heads with its revolutionary Dime Time store—where baby essentials like clothes, toys, and strollers cost just ten cents each. Started 30 years ago by a teacher and fueled by community donations, it’s more than a thrift shop: it’s a lifeline helping students like Joshua (raising two babies) and Catherine (getting outfits for pennies) balance school and parenthood. Principal Desiree Springer, once a teen mom herself, champions the message that your starting point doesn’t dictate your future. With heartfelt stories and a call for donations, this program proves that love, support, and small acts of generosity can change lives—one dime at a time.
