As prom season approaches, many high school girls find themselves on a quest for the perfect dress. However, for some, the journey to find that ideal gown can be a daunting challenge, particularly due to the high costs associated with prom attire.
Enter 19-year-old Jenna Thompson from Maryland, who took to Twitter to offer her stunning prom dress from 2016 to a girl in need. “Hey, I’m willing to let a girl in need borrow my prom dress. Just for the night! You must be in MD, preferably Glen Burnie or nearby. I can also provide shoes and even a makeup artist if you want. I’m not charging anything—just have a great time!” she tweeted, alongside vibrant photos of the dress.
The heartwarming gesture quickly sparked a wave of generosity, with others across the nation following Jenna’s example. One girl, inspired by Jenna’s tweet, offered a dress from her sister’s wedding, stating, “It’s definitely not as nice as yours, but I have one available!”
Another teen volunteered to alter her two-piece prom dress to fit any girl in the Chicago area who might need it. The responses continued to flow, showing the spirit of sharing as young women across the country made their own beautiful dresses available to those looking for a special outfit for prom night.
Boys also joined in the kindness campaign, with one young man offering his stylish suit collection to guys who were in need of formal wear. While not everyone has a prom dress stashed away for lending, many adults expressed their admiration for the teens’ generosity. One commenter reminisced, “Thank you.. 32 years ago I was that girl at prom wishing there was someone like you to help. You are inspiring others, and this kindness is beautiful!”
This initiative serves as a refreshing reminder that, despite the stereotypes often associated with teenage girls—think Mean Girls—they can be incredibly compassionate and supportive of one another.
