When Daniel&#8217;s mother noticed Kylie waiting to go with her son to the homecoming dance in her driveway, she was taken aback. <\/p>\n<p>Daniel&#8217;s mother, Tonya Rivas, gulped back tears as she remarked, \u2018Someone took the time to take my son to homecoming.\u2019 She continued, \u2018Words can&#8217;t even express how I&#8217;m feeling right now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0914-251x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-73272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0914-251x300.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0914-857x1024.jpeg 857w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0914-768x918.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0914.jpeg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as though Daniel is disabled. Kylie didn&#8217;t perceive any disabilities. As a mother, that is what your heart desires,\u2019 Tonya remarked. <\/p>\n<p>People praised Kylie&#8217;s proposal on social media after it made its way there. The charming proposal made news in the area. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Disabled folks don&#8217;t seem different to me. Kylie stated to Fox 5 KVVU-TV, \u2018They are just regular folks who study in a different way. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018I&#8217;m hoping I can lighten up his evening.\u2019 She was unaware that they were going to experience an evening they will never forget. <\/p>\n<p>They were going to be surprised by Fox 5&#8217;s Surprise Squad, which gives out rewards to people who give back to the community. <\/p>\n<p>They made the effort and were picked up for their date in a Rolls Royce. The opulent vehicle that was waiting for them astounded them. <\/p>\n<p>Before going to the homecoming dance, the squad treated them to a classy supper at Bistro 57 in the Aliante Casino. <\/p>\n<p>When the couple arrived at the school, the squad really rolled out a red carpet to greet them. The squad continued to distribute the surprises, and the adolescents were overtaken with emotion. <\/p>\n<p>Daniel and Kylie experienced a very emotional evening, crying tears of thanks and happiness. Daniel once remarked, \u2018That&#8217;s awesome, my mom is really proud of me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Surprise Squad declared that they would be taking Kylie, Daniel, and their families to Disneyland, indicating that the surprises were not over yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0915-250x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-73273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0915-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0915-854x1024.jpeg 854w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0915-768x920.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_0915.jpeg 1194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the touching story went viral online, Daniel was awarded a $10,000 scholarship by United Nissan of Las Vegas, <\/p>\n<p>enabling him to pursue his dream of attending college and becoming a chef.
