There Have Been So Many Heartwarming Stories of People with Down Syndrome Going to Proms This Month…Here’s Another One: Older Brother Takes Sister with Down Syndrome to Prom



Herndon, Va. - A Fairfax County teenager had a prom night to remember thanks to her older brother.

Kyle Hammersley, 22, took his younger sister, Emma Hammersley, who has Down syndrome, to the dance at Herndon High School last weekend.

“Over the years a mom always wants to see her daughter going to a fancy dance,” said mother Cathy Hammersley.

Cathy wanted her daughter to feel like a princess, so she ordered 19-year-old Emma her first long dress and made sure hair, nails, makeup and the corsage were taken care of.

At the dance, Kyle sent his mother text messages, including one to tell her that someone asked Emma to dance.

"I'm so proud of my son. Some guys may feel funny about going back to a prom when they're 22 years old, but he didn't," Cathy said.
