A young youngster chose to make a change after seeing the need for it.
Brady Snakovsky, 10, who aspires to become a police officer, decided to
gather the money for his own bulletproof vests after learning that the
majority of K9 policemen lacked them due to the high cost.
So much for being a go-getter. Brady noticed the K9 cops' lack of
protection while watching the police reality show Live PD, despite the fact
that their handler officers were wearing vests while on duty.
Young Brady discovered that although vests are available for K9s, those at
his local station lacked any due to the expensive vests. According to
Parents, departments were able to safeguard their police but lacked the
funding for the canines.
Brady made the decision to raise money for the K9 officer at his local
police station after learning that canines sometimes suffer injuries while
working.
The little boy's mother assisted him in creating a GoFundMe page on which
he detailed his worry for the K9, what he had learned about their profession
and the hazards they faced, vest alternatives, and how much money he would
need. Brady states on his GoFundMe page that he wanted to gather enough
money to buy one vest for the neighborhood dog, but he was also anxious to
raise as much money as he could to buy vests for any K9 officers who
required them.
According to parents, Brady's campaign gained a lot of attention and since
starting the fund, he has been able to earn more than $150,000 to help
safeguard close to 160 pets. Brady is able to purchase the over $1,000 vests
at the reduced price provided to police enforcement by dealing with the
manufacturer, according to an update on his GoFundMe page.
Brady didn't stop with just one dog in his department; he even went so far
as to establish a foundation that would keep raising money and educating the
public about K9 cops and the services they offer. Brady aspires to provide
every K9 officer with the necessary protection through his foundation so
they can carry out their duties.
