11-year-old Isabella Pieri lost her mom two years ago after a long battle with a rare disease. For years Isabella's father has raised her on his own, but one thing that is hard for many dads is doing hair.
One day Isabella got the courage to ask her bus driver to braid her hair and now she does it every morning on the bus.

"I can tell she was struggling with her hair," Dean told ABC News.
Dean, who has four children of her own, said it's "no big deal" to braid Isabella's hair each morning.
"It's just the way my mom raised me, to be nice to everyone -- people who need a little love in their life," Dean said. "I like to give all of the kids a chance -- even the naughty kids."

Isabella's father, Philip Pieri, said he's extremely grateful to Dean for being so kind to his little girl.
