Prom season has officially arrived—this time, not largely thwarted by the the pandemic that cancelled the landmark event for millions of disappointed teenagers last year. High schools across the country are hosting proms with festive themes, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, and dance-til-ya-drop DJ music.
For many girls, the dress shopping, hair appointments, and post-party planning surrounding all things prom is the highlight of their high school years.
But nothing is more disheartening than being the girl who isn’t asked to prom. Flying solo when your friends all have dates can feel embarrassing and isolating.
Such was the case for 17-year-old Izzy. The teen with special needs had no date to her high school prom, so her mom took to Facebook asking for a favor from a chivalrous young gentleman. And let’s just say this mama found MORE than she was asking for when a kindhearted teen named Carson came knocking at her door.
Carson’s mother, Trina Huff Preece, shared the heartwarming story in a Facebook post that has since gone viral, with over 45,000 shares and 109,000 likes.
Cheers to this charming, selfless young man who showed this “duchess” the royal treatment she deserves!
