Episode 2: Fast and Furious

Brandi begins the challenge at the Denver Public Library, where she learns about Mary Henry, a single mother who's working toward her master's degree and has hit a string of bad luck. Mary's story touches Brandi, and she's determined to get Mary's tuition paid off.

"If I could pick anyone to help, it would be a single mom," Brandi says. "I hope the judges see I did something a little different."
