What a hero.

What a hero.

A single mum was dropping her son off to school when she realised it was ‘Donuts with Dads’ day at the school. She quickly decided to rush back home, change into men’s clothing, put on a fake moustache and return to school to accompany her son.

Yevette Vasquez was explaining on Facebook what had happened and because of her amazing gesture her post has gone viral.

She said on Facebook:

“Good morning, today at my son Elijah’s school (sic) as I was dropping him off I ask him why there was so many cars… He said Donuts ? with Dad, so we quickly went back home cause I wasn’t about to let him miss out…

“I know seeing other dads with their (sic) kids isn’t easy for mine but its life, at least I can do whatever it takes to put a smile on that face, so here it goes….. and please don’t hate I know I’m a woman so do my sons.”

She also shared photos of the two of them together.

She told CNN that there was a mixed reaction from the other dads, saying, “Most of the dads thought it was really cool. They thought it was really supportive and sweet. I did feel the energy of a few men who weren’t as comfortable with it though.”
