When 10-year-old Hannah Imig heard that some local police officers were going to lose some of their pay due to financial issues from the coronavirus pandemic, she immediately wanted to help. Telling her mom she wanted to donate some of her savings to help, she launched a fundraiser to buy gift cards for the officers. Posting a handwritten letter on her mom's social media inviting donations, she wrote: "Police officers are very important people, right? They protect us even when it's dangerous. They sacrifice themselves for strangers! Now that's empathetic!" In less than two days, she collected $2,400 and then took it a step further, purchasing 232 gift cards for the entire police department. "A little kindness can change the world. You did just that, Hannah! Thank you," they wrote to her.
