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.
Danny had secretly been working two jobs to save for Molly’s surgery. Her mother’s misconceptions led to their divorce, but Danny focused on providing for his daughter’s future. After the prom, Danny found a surprise package containing a $10,000 check from the parents he met at the event, recognizing his dedication.
