I admire the way that eight year old Max showed compassion for the Toledo Police Department by having a cocoa stand outside of his parents home a few says ago. The community in Toledo came out to purchase cocoa from the stand from the eight year old child which reached around $13,000 dollars that went to the memory of Toledo Police Officer Brandon Stalker's family. Toledo Police Chief George Kral as well as the parents of Max T for raising funds by selling cocoa on the weekend since the police need all of the help they can get from the communities that they serve during this tough times that we all living in. I am sure that Max received help for his work selling cocoa by his friends and family by getting the word out by using social media to get the word out. It is nice to see children doing their part to support their local police department by using their talents to sell food and drinks as fundraisers.

That's quite a sum of money they're raised for the policeman's family.

Good for Max and his parents to show their love and appreciation to the police, especially to slain officer Brandon Stalker's family. I am sure they were touched at such a lovely gesture in his memory.

The Stalker family are grateful that a young child cares to assist them financially during their dark time.

@Deepizzaguy i find that in many cases it is hard to land in the middle on that one. I try. There are many police officers that need to evolve. There are many that just need to be supported. But as my twins always remind me, you can't look at an officer and know which one is stopping you.

I have noticed that some kids today are looking up to everyday people like police officers, fireman and tree cutters as their heroes.
