11-year-old Audrey Soape has been through one of the most challenging things a child could go through. Last year, her father died suddenly, and not too long after, her grandfather also passed away.
In an Instagram post, Holly Soape, Audrey’s mother, expressed how rough things have been for her daughter lately.
“After the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her father in March of 2021, followed five weeks later by the passing of her grandfather, my beautiful Audrey struggled to cope,” she wrote.
So, during this challenging time, Holly Soape wanted to devise a plan to cheer her daughter up. “Knowing this Daddy/Daughter dance at @thefellowshipch was coming up, I knew I wanted to do something incredible to make it special for her,” she added in her post.

She decided to reach out to Anthony Harris, safety for the Philadelphia Eagles, who Audrey Soape was a big fan of, and ask if he would escort her to the daddy-daughter dance at Fellowship Church.
Holly Soape told KYW-TV that she reached out to Harris about six weeks in advance, and even though he loved the idea, he was not sure if he could attend since the Eagles were potentially headed to the playoffs.
