Single Mum Dresses Up As Dad


Yevette Vasquez is a Mum from Texas, USA and when she dropped her 12 year old son Elijah at school one day, she noticed there were more parked cars than normal. Yevette was told that morning was "Donuts with Dad" morning. "Donuts with Dad"aims to celebrate Fathers working with their children.  

Yevette is a single Mum so was not invited to the event. She went home, dressed up as a Dad and returned to school to join in the activity with her son.
