Sixteen-year-old Carly had been dreaming of wearing the perfect prom dress, but her family’s financial struggles made it seem impossible. However, her mother and grandmother surprised her with a saved-up gift, making her prom dreams within reach.
As Carly headed to the nearby clothing store by bus, clutching the precious envelope of cash, her excitement was palpable. But fate had other plans.
A distressed man at the back of the bus caught her attention. He was frantic, explaining that he’d forgotten his wallet and needed to reach his hospitalized daughter. The bus drivers threatened to call the police if he couldn’t pay the fine.
Carly’s heart went out to the man, Rick. Without hesitation, she handed over the money meant for her prom dress to pay his fine. As Rick thanked her profusely, Carly felt a mix of emotions: sadness, doubt, and hope.
Returning home, Carly faced her mother’s disappointment and frustration. “What if he lied to you?” her mother asked. Carly’s confidence wavered, but her grandmother reassured her, “Giving to those in need is always right. Good things will come back to you.”
Prom night arrived, and Carly wore an old dress, feeling out of place among her peers. Just as she felt like leaving, Rick appeared with his now-recovered daughter, Haley. They handed Carly a gift-wrapped box containing a stunning prom dress.
