It's a simple message. The girl is crying because everyone came together and celebrated her birthday? Wife is from the Philippines, they only eat a dish if they are celebrating something otherwise it's rice and vegetables. My in-laws are so poor they wash the plastic eating ware and red solo cups. I just act like it's normal and help wash the dishes. They only shop at goodwill and live two families to one apartment. But they are together and happy. My wife tells me let's celebrated the things we have instead of the things we want. Growing up I remember eating only government cheese and powdered milk. I remember having nothing. So I see this photo and can relate.
