David, my church put together a quinceanera for a girl whose mother could not afford anything. Dad did not contribute and was absent, unable to sober up enough to even show up. We had it in the church meeting hall and we all contributed to supply food & drink, photos and a lot of support for the mom, who provided the formal gown the girl wore. It's a formal coming-of-age ceremony for the girl. Perhaps this can be a way of getting closer with your kid. Best, Carol Russell
