Angel Tree | Father-Daughter Dance | JJ Heller | Matt Hammitt | Wonder Animation StudiosWonder Animation Studios has released "Father-Daughter Dance," a short animated film inspired by a true story.
A young girl is unable to attend the Father-Daughter Dance because her father is in jail. She writes to the sheriff and asks if she can dance with her father at the jail.
In January, Alyson Quinn wrote a story about Angela Patton and her idea of holding father-daughter dances in prison. Such a dance was recently held at the Richmond (Virginia) City Jail, and has garnered a fair amount of media attention.
An article in the Washington Post takes a look at the event, giving a glimpse of both fathers and daughters as they prepare for the dance.
Restoration Partners give monthly to bring life-changing prison ministry programs to incarcerated men and women across the country.
