Dad working 3 jobs takes extra shifts in order to surprise daughter with her dream dress

Nevaeha Smith found her dream dress, but the price was a nightmare.

Nevaeha, 14, wanted a special outfit for her eighth grade dance at Ringgold Middle School in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, but the floral ensemble that she fell in love with was $200. Her dad, Ricky Smith, works at McDonald's, Popeyes, and Circle K in order to support his family, and when he saw the price, he told her he wasn't sure, "but I can see what I can do."

Once he was able to buy it, he asked his daughter to stop by McDonald's while he was at work, and told her she had a dress, but her grandmother had purchased it, and it wasn't the one she wanted. Nevaeha was worried about how it would look, but when her dad opened the garment bag and she saw the flowers, she knew it was the one.
