A teen with Down syndrome was turned down by every girl he asked to the homecoming dance. Then, he got an unexpected surprise that turned his night around (video below).
Daniel Rivas, 17, has Down syndrome, but he is just like other kids his age. He dreams of going to college and becoming a chef. One thing that Daniel always looked forward to was going to his homecoming dance. When the time came, he asked several girls to be his date, but was turned down, according to FaithIt.
When a 10th grader named Kylie Fronius heard that Daniel was looking for a date for prom, she knew right away that she wanted to surprise him. One day in school, she asked him to be her date.
“Someone took the time to take my son to homecoming,” said Daniel’s mother, Tonya Rivas. “Words can’t even describe what I’m feeling right now.”
Video of Kylie asking Daniel to homecoming went viral and KVVU covered the story.
