I needed this story today.
“We were in Athens yesterday and Avery had to go to the bathroom really, really bad.
She and I ran into the closest place which was a Subway in downtown Athens. We ran straight to the bathroom and the employee got my attention and told me the bathroom was only for paying customers.
I didn’t have my wallet with me 🤦🏻♀️and I told him I was sorry, I didn’t have my wallet and we would leave.
Without hesitation these 2 young men spoke up and said they would buy a cookie for Avery so she could be a “paying customer” so she could use the restroom. I was so grateful, thanked them profusely and dashed in the restroom with Avery.
We came back out and they were still there, so I thanked them again and started talking with them. Turns out they both play on the UGA football team. (Go Dawgs)
We had a great conversation and exchanged some laughs, and talked about football.
To some it may seem like a small act, but I was so thankful and impressed that these 2 college kids who don’t have kids of their own gave so freely and without hesitation to help us out.
The world needs MORE of this!
Thank you Latavious & Jaylen!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fine young men who asked for nothing in return and a great example. A much needed ray of sunshine.
Food for thought.
Go Dawgs!! ❤️🖤”

This is Maisy. Every day she waits for her friend Richard to walk by and say hello. Even if they both move a little slower sometimes, it's always worth the wait. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Sometimes people get caught up wondering what their purpose in life truly is, yet it doesn’t have to be anything grandiose. It can be something simple like sharing kindness each day. #StarfishClub
Yesterday, future recruit Isabella stopped by the police station and was very excited to meet some women in the field! Isabella hopes to one day have a career in policing just like Constable Hackney and Cadet Taylor!
There is an active police investigation in the area of Pittock Park on the north side of the river. There is no risk to public safety. Police ask that the public avoid the area at this time.
Yesterday, Inspector Shelton and retired WPS Constable Maitland attended a service for First Responders in Hamilton where retired WPS Sergeant Massecar was the guest pastor. Thank you to the members of the New Testament Baptist Church in Hamilton for their hospitality.
