In 2015, Savannah Solis was only 10 years old, but she was already making a difference on a national level. At that point, two New York police officers had recently been murdered in the line of duty, so an unassuming Solis chose to write a letter to the NYPD simply to let them know that “they matter.” Since then, she has traveled around the country visiting different precincts and leaving officers teary-eyed.
Upworthy reports that in her letter, Solis wrote, “You are my heroes. I want to say don’t stop, please don’t give up. Many do not care or appreciate the sacrifices you make every day. But I do.” She continued, “Many are standing with me today to let you know that you matter. Officers across Texas, you matter to me. Officers in New York City, you matter to me. Officers all across America, you matter to me. Please keep taking care of us.”
