Little Boy Begs Cops to Find Santa Claus and Give Him His Christmas Letter – Story of the Day

A few days before Christmas, 8-year-old Chris rushed into the 24th precinct, desperately asking the police to help him find Santa. Most officers dismissed him, but Officer Dean Miller stopped the boy before he left. Chris handed him an urgent letter, explaining it was “a matter of life or death.” Dean promised to deliver it and drove Chris home, where his worried mother thanked him.

That night, Dean remembered the envelope and opened it. To his surprise, Chris wasn’t asking for toys—he wanted a new hearing aid for his sister, Sandra. Their father had lost his job, and the device was too expensive. The boy just wanted his sister to hear and play with him again. The heartfelt request moved Dean deeply.

The next day, Dean told his partner, Officer Henning, about the letter. Together, they rallied the precinct. After contacting Sandra’s doctor, they learned the hearing aid she needed cost \$4,000. Every officer chipped in, and the doctor agreed to install it for free. By Christmas Eve, the gift was ready.

Dean suggested they make the delivery special. Henning dug out a Santa costume, and soon the officers arrived at the Petersens’ home with Santa, snacks, and cheer. Chris jumped with joy, shouting, “You found Santa!” Sandra beamed as Dean handed her the box with her new hearing aid.

Later, Dean privately told Mrs. Petersen how it all came about. She admitted they had told the kids Santa wasn’t real because they couldn’t afford the aid—but now, it felt like magic.

Dean left knowing this wasn’t just about a gift—it was about restoring hope. Sometimes, being a hero means going far beyond the badge.
