Briefly

Ruthann Watson, a Far Rockaway high school senior, experienced an extraordinary prom night with a police escort and luxurious car after initially planning to skip the event due to financial constraints. With the support of NYPD officers who built a relationship with her following a family tragedy, they helped her secure a beautiful dress, professional styling, and emotional support, emphasizing love and community. Watson expressed her gratitude, highlighting how these efforts made her feel cherished and supported in overcoming her past challenges.
I feel so special. And honestly I'm so grateful, I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Not for her to forget but just to show her that people around her support her, they love her still, after everything that happened.
