LONGMONT -- When a 4-year-old Longmont girl heard about a fundraiser for a police officer battling pancreatic cancer, she knew what she had to do.
"To help people who has (sic) cancer because that's nice," said Sidney Fahrenbruch, who told her mother she wanted to give the money in her piggy bank to help.
"She said, 'Oh I know him.' And I said 'Yes, you know him.' And she said, 'I want to give him some of my piggy bank money.' And she wrote a card and got the money out," said her mother, Megan Fahrenbruch. "She loves the police officers."
Officer Kyle Zulauf is an Army veteran and father of three who is now battling pancreatic cancer, and the officers are organizing fundraisers to help pay for expenses.
This summer, Sidney got to know another Longmont officer, David Bonday, after he made a special house call to clear her home of any monsters.Since then, she has become an ardent supporter of Longmont Police, visiting police headquarters every week.
"For a four-year-old that can step up and say at four, 'I understand cancer is a bad thing and being nice is a good thing and I want to do my part to help out.' It's just super special," said Officer Bonday.
