Special Needs Kid Asked To Prom In Front Of School [VIDEO]

16-year-old Ben Davis just had a good day. Ben has a rare genetic condition that attacks his nervous system and causes a build-up of iron in his brain.  So he has trouble talking and has to be in a wheelchair.

But Ben also has some great friends. When Ben was at a pep rally in his school gymnasium last Friday, they brought him out onto the court. Then two students brought out a cardboard box, with words painted on the side that said, "I'll ask you to prom when pigs fly."  But when they cut the top open, a bunch of pink balloons that looked like PIGS floated out. Meaning he WAS being asked to prom.  Which seems kind of messed up, but maybe it was an inside joke.

Anyway, all of this was a setup to a beautiful 19-year-old senior named Vee Nguyen (pronounced Way-en.) asked him to prom. The two met about two years ago when she started working with special needs kids at their school, and they've been friends ever since.

She posted a video from the pep rally on Facebook.  And when Ben sees the balloons, he gets a huge smile on his face.  Then he starts to get emotional, and someone hands him a rose to give her. You gotta see this video that as of last night, already had over three million views.

Faith in humanity restored.

Would love to see more of this type of school behavior.
