With so many anti-police stories in the news, how about a heartwarming one instead? After fulfilling a terminally ill toddler’s dream of meeting police last month, the local PD returned to his home again this week to spread more holiday cheer.
The Chelsea and Boston Police Departments came together to give 2-year-old brain cancer patient Edison Cordero and his family a nice Christmas. They visited the Corderos with sirens blazing, bearing gifts including a Christmas tree, police-themed toys, and a $5,000 donation from Cops For Kids With Cancer.
Last month, I wrote about Edison Cordero: https://t.co/q1wqox0odr the 2-year-old terminally ill toddler who wanted to meet a real-life police officer. Chelsea Police Dept. made that dream come true. Wednesday officers came back to Edison’s house with an early Christmas present… pic.twitter.com/qxgiU5i3DC

But the biggest hit was the fully functional mini electric police cruiser that Edison could sit and ride around in. Edison is now an honorary police officer and his cruiser is an honorary part of the police fleet.
The electronic police car is fully detailed with Chelsea Police logos and honorably entered into the Chelsea Police fleet. Officers again lined Webster Avenue with patrol cars, sirens loud and blazing blue. Edison waved from his window. They brought gifts & a Christmas tree…🎄 pic.twitter.com/o8FIDo4lyC

It’s stories like these that give you hope for humanity in a world so full of hatred and division.
Let’s all pray for a Christmas miracle to cure little Edison so he can grow up to be a police officer one day just like these heroes!
