Daniel Rivas was devastated when rejected by all the girls he asked to the homecoming dance.
Thankfully the 17-year-old’s dreams weren’t completely shattered after an underclassman surprised him with a proposal to attend the dance.
Rivas, a teen from Arizona who has Down syndrome, couldn’t have been more ecstatic when he was asked to the dance by tenth grader Kylie Fronius.
When Fronius offered Rivas a proper proposal with a sign and some balloons, he said “Yes!”
The same could be said about Rivas’ mom, Tonya Rivas, who was elated that someone showing love and kindness to her son after his heart was broken.
The loving mom was just as surprised as her son when she found Fronius in her driveway one morning.
“Someone took the time to take my son to homecoming,” Tonya Rivas said, according to Upworthy.
“Words can’t even describe what I’m feeling right now. It’s not that Daniel has a disability. It’s Kylie didn’t see any disability. That is what your heart wants as a mom.”
Fronius decided to ask Rivas to the dance after she heard that his feelings were hurt after he had been rejected.
“I don’t see disabled people as different. They are just normal people who learn in a different way,” Fronius told Fox 5 KVVU-TV. “I hope I can make his night fun.”
Rivas and Fronius’ homecoming proposal story ended up being posted on the internet where it went viral.
Fox 5’s Surprise Squad got wind of Fronius and Rivas’ story and decided to give them both a surprise, which they like to do with people who positively contribute to their community.
The Surprise Squad treated Fronius and Rivas to a big night out on the town.
That night started out with a Rolls Royce picking them up for their date.
Fronius was practically shaking when she learned that she was getting a new car.
