Dad Takes Disabled Daughter to Prom, Finds $10K Check for ‘Dad of the Year’ in Mailbox Later
Molly, a disabled 17-year-old, lost her mother and felt alone, especially without a prom date. Her estranged father, Danny, showed up at the funeral and asked her to move in. Though hesitant, Molly adjusted as Danny cared for her, even learning to braid her hair.
When no one would take her to prom, Danny surprised her by going with her himself, becoming a local hero.
Danny had been working two jobs to save for Molly’s surgery, and a $10,000 gift from prom parents helped cover it. After the surgery, Molly thrived, earned a scholarship, and confidently embraced her future, thanks to Danny’s love and sacrifices.
