Police Help Homeless Dad, Daughter Get Back On Road

James and his 10-year-old daughter are homeless, and everything they own they keep inside his truck. The SUV got James to and from work until it recently broke down, causing him to miss work and lose his job.

One day, James caught a group of police officers peering into his truck. He assumed he was about to get in trouble for something, but that's when his faith in humanity was instantly restored.

"We're trying to help you," the officers said. Though he was surprised by the officers' offering of kindness — something he's not used to — James accepted their help for his daughter. A tow truck picked up his dead Suburban for free. Thanks to the police department, he won't have to pay for labor or parts.

"At any point in time in our lives, anyone of us could be in that same situation," says Officer James Butler. "Offering assistance to a fellow human being is the right thing to do."

Now, James and his daughter are back on the road without a hitch. For every "bad cop" story we hear in the news, it helps to know there are so many more good guys out there.
