As we recognize Father’s Day this year, we reflect on the powerful bond between a father and his child — and the unimaginable pain of being separated for over a decade.

Dawn Michelle has been wrongfully incarcerated in China for 11 years. That means 11 birthdays, and 11 Father’s Days, spent apart from her family.

This week, we’re reminded not only of Dawn Michelle’s continued absence, but of the quiet strength of her 92-year-old father, Gene Hunt — a man who has never stopped fighting to bring his daughter home.

If anyone could lift his spirits this Father’s Day, it’s Chuck Norris. In the heartfelt video below, Chuck shares a message of encouragement and hope that inspires us to keep pushing for Dawn Michelle’s humanitarian release.

His words not only support our family, but bring critical attention to Dawn Michelle’s case from those in government who have the power to act.

Please take a moment to watch, share, and help us raise awareness. Your voice truly makes a difference.
