The call came in the wee hours of Sunday.
At 3 a.m., Mark Ross learned his 15-year-old sister had just been killed in a car wreck. Stunned and shocked, and without a car, he convinced someone he knew to drive him from Indiana to Detroit.

And .. this is how it begins .. building a bond of just being kind to one another.
It’s a beautiful thing.

And .. many officers sacrifice their own time and finances to help out families in crisis.
