Cop Delivers Christmas To A 6-Year-Old Girl Who Witnessed Her Parents Die

Losing a parent is one the hardest things a child can go through, especially when you are only six years old. Losing both your parents within a year of each other is almost too much for any one person to handle.

Unfortunately for six year old Ivey, this is her reality. As expected she hasn't been doing very well lately. Ivey's school called in officer Popsey Floyd when she was continuously running away from class. The young girl kept trying to leave the building alone, and when Floyd arrived he found out that the reason she was doing it was a lot more serious than he anticipated.

"School officials told me that one of the issues they have with her is that she witnessed her mother being killed," Floyd explained in a video update about the case.  But as traumatizing as that was, it wasn't the end of this girl's horrific experience.

"What I found out today, is that not only did she witness her mom being killed, she also witnessed her father being killed just a couple months later," he continued. "Within the same year, she lost her mother and her father."

The little girl has been having an extremely hard time with this. Floyd says that she is a very smart girl, but that it's making it harder for her because she has an excellent memory and can remember the incidents vividly. She is staying with her grandmother, but she is struggling. Floyd decided that this girl deserved a special Christmas this year, so he has done something amazing...

Floyd knows that Ivey is struggling, but she isn't alone. She has her grandmother and also her sister. Her older sister Eve (11 years old) wasn't present when her parents were killed but it's obviously still a huge loss. Floyd posted about these young girls on his Facebook, sharing their story and asking for help.

When he spoke with Ivey about why she was leaving school, they were able to make a deal. If he brought her ice cream and she would stop running away, but he wanted to do so much more than that. He wants to surprise her with a Christmas celebration that would hopefully help her feel loved.

"I would like to give this little princess the best Christmas ever. I would love to have you come with me and surprise her family with love and gifts," Floyd said on his Facebook page. "If you can help with a gift, or come with me to deliver the gifts just let me know."

He posted their sizing information so people could buy them clothes, as well as an Amazon wishlist that will let people buy them gifts that they would like. People have already started contributing to help these little girls have a better Christmas.

If you are able to offer your help this year, they aren't asking for much, just a few affordable toys and necessities that will help them find some joy this Christmas. "She's having a hard time dealing with the loss of both parents, being able to witness it. We can't bring back her parents, but what we can do is bring a smile to her face," Floyd said.
