This is the heartwarming moment Florida cops display gifts and banners outside a hospital for a seven-year-old boy who was badly injured in a fire accident.
The kindhearted gesture took place outside the Kendall Regional Medical Center in the city of Miami in the US state of Florida on 24th January.
The young child was severely injured in a fire accident last month and local officers and hospital workers joined forces to lift the boy’s spirits and wish him a speedy recovery.
The Miami-Dade Police Department shared the video on social media with the message: “7-year-old Beau was severely injured in a fire accident. Today, officers from our Kendall & Hammocks Neighborhood Resource Unit, along with members of Kendall Regional Medical Center joined forces to make this a special day for Beau & his dreams of becoming a police officer.
“We wish him a speedy recovery!”
The boy’s mother Jessica Newman told local media that Beau injured himself in December while lighting a campfire on Jensen Beach.
After splashing lighter fluid on himself, the boy reportedly suffered burns to his arms, chest and other body parts and has spent over a month recovering in hospital.
His mother said: “He’s been kind of not himself lately, and seeing him go and walk up to that window and watching him smile and seeing everything that is going on outside.”
She added: “He’s going to have a lengthy recovery.”
To help lift the aspiring cop’s spirits, the police displayed banners outside the hospital and delivered a basket of goodies for him to enjoy.
