Tucked away in the corner of a Sandusky shopping plaza is a place where volunteers work to make high school dreams come true. It's called Cinderella's Closet of Northeast Ohio.
The shop is stocked with racks of rainbow-colored dresses fit for royalty. Volunteers are in the business of providing prom gowns to girls who could otherwise not afford to experience a prom.
Ferrell started Cinderella's Closet of Northeast Ohio in 2010, and since then, Ferrell and the team of fairy godmothers have turned hundreds of dresses into dreams. When the nonprofit opened in 2010, volunteers dressed 67 girls; last year, 140. Volunteers expect the need will be greater this year in part because of the inflation.
The nonprofit specializes in granting wishes by giving the girls dresses, jewelry, shoes, and even makeup. The cost is a thank you or smile.
