Kerry, a retired grandmother living on a pension, wanted to buy a prom dress for her granddaughter Anne. Anne felt too embarrassed to attend prom because money was tight—her mother worked minimum wage, and Kerry did her best to help. When Kerry visited a luxury boutique, the saleslady Sandra immediately judged her by appearance and rudely told her she couldn’t afford anything in the store, even suggesting she shop elsewhere. Hurt and humiliated, Kerry left in tears.

Outside the mall, a young police apprentice named George noticed Kerry crying and gently asked what was wrong. After hearing her story, he accompanied her back to the store. George spoke to the manager about Sandra’s disrespectful behavior, and they helped Kerry find a beautiful dress at a discounted price. George even offered to pay half, despite Kerry’s protests.

On prom night, Kerry surprised Anne with the dress. Though Anne had no date, the doorbell rang—George was there in a tuxedo with a corsage, ready to accompany her. They had a wonderful time, and years later, Anne and George married. Kerry’s kindness and George’s help turned an embarrassing moment into a life-changing one.
