A Utah teenager’s story of resilience has gone viral after she attended her homecoming less than two months following a horrific car crash.On July 30, 17-year-old Sarah Frei was returning home from Bear Lake with her friends when a truck heading the opposite way turned the corner and hit them.The crash caused Frei, who was sitting in the back passenger seat, to suffer internal bleeding, paralyzing her from the waist down.Despite losing both her legs as a result of the crash, the teenager maintained a positive outlook.

Her friends tried their best to lift her spirits, too — .in September, Frei’s cheer team came together to organize a homecoming of their own after the pandemic forced their school to cancel the official event.One of the senior’s friends, Andrew, then arrived with a poster and some treats to ask Frei out to homecoming.“my mom explained they wanted me to have them join all their activities virtually and I could participate through FaceTime”.“I’ve always had a very supportive family and group of friends, and I’m so glad I’ve knownthey’ve been here for me through this whole time”
