Words can’t really capture how I feel right now. As a mom, this is what you dream of for your child.
The FOX5 Surprise Squad decided to make a boy’s prom the best night of his life when they heard a heartwarming story about a 17-year-old boy with Down syndrome named Daniel Rivas. He was turned down by a girl he invited to homecoming and thought he’d have to go alone.
But then, something amazing happened.
Kylie Fronius, a beautiful girl with a big heart, asked Daniel to be her date. Kylie didn’t see Daniel as someone with a disability. She believes that kids like him are just regular people who learn in a different way. She’s special because of how she sees the world.
Daniel’s mom, Tonya, was deeply moved by Kylie’s kind act. “What Kylie did for my son was incredible,” she said. Tonya was so relieved that someone out there saw her son without any limitations.
With the full story, the Fox5 Surprise Squad started planning surprises for Daniel and Kylie. They wanted this night to be unforgettable for them because they truly deserved it.
Monika Jackson from the Surprise Squad met with Daniel and Kylie and shared how their story had touched many hearts. Their first big surprise was a luxurious Rolls Royce to take them to the dance in style.
Before heading to the dance, they went to Bistro 57 for a fantastic meal. Tonya had passed by this restaurant many times but never had the chance or money to eat there.
When they arrived at the dance, they were stunned to see a red carpet rolled out for them. Their smiles showed how excited they were, feeling like celebrities on this special night.
But the surprises weren’t over. The crowd cheered as Daniel and Kylie learned they’d both won trips to Disneyland.
The biggest surprise, though, was yet to come. Since Fox posted the story on YouTube, it’s been watched by over 4.8 million people.
This story reminds us that everyone deserves to be treated equally and that no one is better than anyone else. It also shows how a simple act of kindness can change a life forever.
