High school student Kailah McAlister dreamed of a ball gown for her upcoming Spring Formal. She fell in love with a beautiful sea-blue, floor-length gown embellished with flowers, but sadly, it was way out of her budget.

The determined teen set her eyes on the prize, however, and started working extra jobs to save up for the gown she wanted. She was reluctant to ask her parents for help; Kailah knew they couldn’t afford it.
