Deborah Price turned to strangers on the internet for help, and they delivered.
Price's friend, Kate Bell, was trying to find a specific dress for her daughter, Elise. Elise has autism, and will only wear a gray dress with a rainbow heart on the front. It was purchased three years ago, and Kate wanted to find a new one before Elise outgrows her current dress. Thinking someone might have an old dress in their closet they would be willing to sell, Price tweeted a photo and hoped for the best.
