A Pittsburgh dad who works three jobs made his daughter's dream come true last month and the heart-melting gesture has gone viral.

Fourteen-year-old Nevaeha Smith found her dream dress for the 8th grade formal. The two-piece dress was out of the family's budget, so her dad, Ricky Smith, didn't think he'd be able to purchase it for her at first, "CBS This Morning" reports.

[post_ads]Smith balances three jobs to support his family, according to the Daily Mail. After saving up, the father was able to buy Nevaeha's dream dress — and the surprise brought her to tears. Nevaeha's mom, Kellie Fleming, filmed the emotional moment on June 12, and it has since gone viral.

The video shows Smith opening a garment bag to reveal the surprise for Nevaeha. Her draw drops and she stands up and gives her dad a big hug. Thanks to her father's hard work, Nevaeha proudly wore the dress to the dance on June 15.

"I'm grateful that he found a way to get me the dress and I really appreciate how many jobs he worked," Nevaeha told "CBS This Morning" during a Skype interview with her dad that aired Monday.

The dress might've been expensive, but the look on his daughter's face was priceless. The gift was more than just a dress for a school dance, it is something Nevaeha will cherish forever.
