Teacher Helps Poor Girl with Halloween Costume, Years Later Walks Her Down Aisle as Dad — Story of the Day
Ellie was heartbroken when she couldn’t dress up for Halloween, feeling invisible in her grey pants and white T-shirt while her classmates celebrated in vibrant costumes. She wanted to be a princess, but her dad had forgotten to save up for her costume.
As the mean kids teased her, only one person noticed her sadness: Mr. Borges, her art teacher. He called her over and excitedly grabbed some toilet paper from the supply closet. Wrapping it around her, he transformed Ellie into a unique mummy costume, adding splashes of red ink for flair.
When Ellie saw herself in the mirror, joy filled her heart. “I love it!” she exclaimed, hugging Mr. Borges. As she walked back into the crowd, the mocking kids fell silent in awe.
Mr. Borges became a crucial figure in Ellie’s life, supporting her through her struggles, especially after her father’s passing. He promised her father that he would help Ellie achieve everything he wanted for her, solidifying a bond that would last a lifetime.
