Moms across the US are anonymously buying gift cards or leaving cash in baby items at Target and Walmart stores because Denaesha Gonzalez saw a misplaced purse. The Nashville mom was with her 2-year-old son in Target when she saw a silver clutch handbag on the shelf of the baby aisle. To the 28-year-old, this meant that a mom with a young child sacrificed something she wanted to buy for something for her baby. She posted a 17-second video with the text: SHE DESERVED THE PURSE. It has since gone viral with more than 20 million views. The hashtag #shedeservedthepurse took off when mom influencer Cecily Bauchman told her 2 million followers about Gonzalez’s video.
