In a touching display of camaraderie, the police department in Orlando came together to support the son of an injured officer as he embarked on his first day of kindergarten. Just two months prior, Officer Jake Hernandez was critically injured while responding to a domestic disturbance, leaving him in a coma after a tragic shooting incident that took the lives of four children and the shooter.
Today, as little Max prepared for his big day, his father’s colleagues stepped in to ensure he felt the love and support of his father, who couldn’t be there. Chief Tom Rivers and the entire force accompanied Max and his mother, Sarah, to school, creating an uplifting atmosphere during an otherwise heartbreaking time for the family.
Max arrived at school sporting his favorite superhero backpack, ready to tackle kindergarten with confidence. He shared high-fives with his father’s fellow officers, embodying the spirit of resilience. Chief Rivers even made a point to peek into the classroom, a common moment for any parent sending their child off to school, yet particularly poignant given the circumstances.
As Officer Hernandez continues to receive care at a rehabilitation center, his family remains hopeful. Sarah expressed her gratitude, saying, “They told us he wasn’t going to make it, but he’s showing signs of recovery. Every little movement is a miracle.”
To assist with the mounting medical expenses, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched, with all funds directed to Sarah and her family. The Orlando Police Heroes Foundation is working hard to support the Hernandez family through this challenging time.
