Molly was 17 years old and had a disability. She had been through a lot. After Daisy, her mother, died not long ago, she felt alone and separated. To make things even worse, Danny, Molly’s divorced father, hadn’t been in her life for years, only paying child support and saying mean things.
But fate has a way of surprising us, and Danny’s sudden return at Daisy’s funeral was the start of a very strange trip. Danny suggested that Molly move in with him, even though she didn’t want to at first. As they started to get back together, Molly saw a side of her father she hadn’t known existed.
Danny made a point of taking care of Molly’s needs as they started their new life together. He even watched online videos to learn how to braid her hair. What he did next, though, would change everything. Dan knew he had to do something when Molly came home from school crying because she didn’t have a date for prom.
Danny shocked Molly by offering to take her to prom himself. It was a sweet act of love. As they got to the place, Danny’s strong desire to make his daughter feel special moved everyone there. She was so proud of and loved her dad that she couldn’t stop thinking about how great the prom night had been without him.
Molly didn’t know it, but her dad had been working hard behind the scenes to make sure she had a good future. Even though Daisy and Danny were no longer together because of misunderstandings and bad feelings, Danny had been working two jobs to save money for Molly’s surgery. Many people had not noticed how hard he worked for no reason, but it wasn’t until after the prom that the community came together to thank him.
As a surprise, the parents of the girls Danny and Molly had met at the prom came together to give him a $10,000 cheque to show how much they cared about his daughter’s health. When Danny’s story got out, he became a neighbourhood hero who inspired many people with his story of redemption and love.
