Sting’s Daughter Helps Woman Fulfill Her Father’s Dying Wish
Recently, Humans of New York - a blog of photos and interviews with people from NYC - featured a moving story about Elizabeth, the stepdaughter of New York policeman Domingo Santiago, who was given a task by her dying stepfather — to give Sting, The Police main man, a portrait he painted of him years prior. Now, thanks to Sting’s daughter, Mickey Sumner, and the publicity of the story, his wish has been granted.
According to a new update on Humans of New York’s Instagram page, Domingo’s painting has made it to the star.
“THE EAGLE HAS LANDED,” Humans of New York captioned of an image of Sting standing next to the portrait. “Thanks so much to @sumnermickey for helping get our precious cargo to her father. She’s also teamed up with Elizabeth to create a fundraiser in Domingo’s memory. All donations will benefit the National MS society, and aid in the fight to end Multiple Sclerosis forever. So let’s keep the party going! Link in bio.”
