Dad Takes Disabled Daughter to Prom, Finds $10K Check for ‘Dad of the Year’ in Mailbox Later

Molly, a disabled 17-year-old, faced life without a prom date and the

fresh grief of losing her mother. Her estranged father, Danny, arrived

at the funeral, much to her surprise. Molly had only known Danny through child support payments and negative remarks from her mother, Daisy.

After the funeral, Danny insisted Molly move in with him, despite her

reluctance to leave the home she shared with her mother. Adjusting to life

with Danny was challenging but also comforting as he made efforts to care for her, even learning to braid her hair through online tutorials.

One day, Molly came home upset, discovering her dad’s note saying he was out.

Convinced he was at the pub, as her mother often said, she cried about her

prom situation. No boys wanted to take her, making her feel isolated due to her disability.

Danny, determined to lift her spirits, surprised Molly by taking her to prom himself.

He arrived in his truck, drawing attention as he wheeled her in. They danced,

and Danny’s efforts touched everyone. Molly felt immense pride and love for her father, who became a local hero.
