 GAFFNEY, S.C. — A single mother’s Facebook post about using her tax return to provide for her kids before herself is going viral. 
 
 On Wednesday, Christina Knaack, a single mother who works a minimum-wage job to support a 4-month-old and 2-year-old, posted a picture of a $5,400 tax return receipt along with strong words about the money and how she plans to spend it. 
 
 “I got back $5,600 on my taxes. Instead of buying my kids the latest Jordans or fancy electronics, I paid my rent for the YEAR,” she wrote. I’m a single mom and I do it all by myself on a minimum wage job. I know that a roof over my kids head is what’s important. My kids don’t want for anything because my priorities are straight. And this also means I will have that extra $450 a month to do things with my kids.” 
 
 The majority of the 18,000 comments in the post are positive and applauding Knaack for her sacrifice and selfless parenting.

 Most of us anxiously wait for tax-return season so we can buy a new gadget, or redecorate a room or take a much-needed trip, and while there is nothing wrong with splurging on yourself some people chose to use the money a little differently. 
 
 Christina Knaack, a single mom and recovering addict from South Carolina never thought she'd go viral after sharing a message about her tax return on her Facebook.

 "I got back $5600 on my taxes. Instead of buying my kids the latest Jordans or fancy electronics I paid my rent for the YEAR," wrote Knaack. "I'm a single mom and I do it all buy myself on a minimum wage job. I kno [sic] that a roof over my kids' head is what's important. My kids don't want for anything because my priorities are straight. And this also means I will have that extra 450 a month to do things with my kids." 
 
 People sent all kinds of comments to Knaack, some positive and others not so much. 
 
 (Story continues below) 
 
 Many commentors posted things like "good job" or "smart thinking" or a short congratulatory comment. 
 
 "What about not having children until you make more than minimum wage?" said another comment 
 
 Other posts suggested she should have started saving towards a house, while others still seemed unimpressed that she was just doing the obvious "adult" thing. 
 
 No matter their opinions, Knaack is still proud of her decision. 
 
 "I made [the post] public so if anyone shared it, others could see it in hopes a recovering addict would see it and see that life off the streets is possible and for any single moms to kno [sic] it is possible to survive on ur [sic] own. As long as my post has inspired people I'm happy with that."
– A recovering addict and single mom took her $5,600 tax refund and used it not to splurge on the latest gadget, but to pay her rent—for the entire year. Christina Knaack put a photo of the rent check on Facebook Wednesday and explained her reasoning behind the move in a post that's since gone viral, the Houston Chronicle reports; it's been shared more than 120,000 times so far. "Instead of buying my kids the latest Jordans or fancy electronics I paid my rent for the YEAR," the South Carolina mom of a 4-month-old and a 2-year-old wrote. "I'm a single mom and I do it all buy [sic] myself on a minimum wage job. I (know) that a roof over my kids head is what's important." She went on to say that she keeps her priorities "straight" to make sure her kids have everything they need—and that with the extra $450 per month they won't be paying in rent, the family can do things together. The post has racked up more than 300,000 Facebook "reactions," just eight of them "angry," and thousands of comments—most of them supportive, Fox 8 notes. Of course, not everyone has been completely on board with Knaack; one commenter, for example, wondered why Knaack hadn't used the money to start saving to buy a house, while another wondered why she doesn't have a better-paying job. In an update Thursday, Knaack said that she never expected to go viral, but made her post public in case her friends wanted to share it. "As of January 3rd I celebrated 3 years clean," she wrote, and she thought perhaps "a recovering addict would see it and see that life off the streets is possible and for any single moms to (know) it is possible to survive on (your) own." (This single mom donned a mustache for her kid.)
