Ultimately, Sienna decided to miss the prom. After taking a couple of pictures in her beautiful dress, she took it off and placed an ad on the internet to sell it. She put it on a bidding platform.
A poor girl saved up for several years to buy her dream prom dress, only to sell it to help her friend. Seventeen years later, she received the most surprising news that she had inherited a fortune from someone she hadn’t seen in years. Sienna Powell was a 16-year-old girl raised by a single mother.
Her father left them, thinking he could make it big and live a better life alone. Although her dad promised to support Sienna financially, he never came through. So her mom Lisa struggled to make ends meet with her regular day job as a bank teller.
Through the years, Sienna tried her best not to burden her mother. She rarely asked for anything besides what she truly needed and even took part-time jobs to help pay the bills. Every time she received a paycheck from her part-time job, she would take a small portion of it and place it inside a tin can that she kept inside her closet.
While she did not want much, there was one thing she had always dreamt about since she was a young child – her prom night. Sienna would spend most of her paycheck on their daily food needs, but the small portion she’d keep in the tin can was designated for her prom dress. She knew that her mother couldn’t afford to buy the dress, and she didn’t want to burden her with it.
As she walked home from school every day, Sienna would pass by a beautiful boutique that sold tailored formalwear. One day, she went inside the store to ask how much a gorgeous, custom-made red, satin dress would cost. She had set her mind to getting her dream prom dress from the store and even had drawings of the dress posted on her bedroom wall to motivate her to work hard.
The dress Sienna wanted was worth $2000 because it was made from the most delicate Italian satin and fit her exact measurements. Sienna would often gush about the dress to her best friend, Aaron. Aaron was her closest friend, and she didn’t have many, to begin with.
Aaron and Sienna found common ground when they discovered their fathers had left their mothers when they were younger. They related to one another a lot and, since then, have been inseparable. Weeks before the senior prom, Sienna was able to save up enough money to have her dress made finally.
