A Florida fifth grader named Tyler Carach may only be 11 years old, but he’s been showing his gratitude to police officers all over the country in one super sweet way.
The young, kind-hearted human being has brought more than 65,000 doughnuts to officers in more than 30 states. It is his mission thank every police officer with frosting and sprinkles.
The whole thing began in August ’16 when Tyler and his mom, a former police officer, saw four deputies at a doughnut shop. Tyler asked his mom if he could use his allowance money to buy them doughnuts, and the officers were thrilled.
When Tyler asked his mom why the officers were so excited for the doughnuts, his mom told him it’s not about the doughnuts, but the fact they took the time to say thank you.
The cops’ excitement and smiles gave the mother-son duo an idea for the now nationwide campaign.
Tyler dons the moniker “Donut Boy,” along with a deliciously colorful cape.
His slogan . . . “I donut need a reason to thank a cop.” (So. Much. Yes.)
The latest stop was a precinct in Chicago with doughnuts in hand, when the men and women in uniform decided to give Tyler a taste of his own medicine, presenting him with a cake for his 11th birthday.
Tyler and his mom have been using school holidays and summer vacation over the last couple years to hit the road and spread the love in baked goodness form, and their efforts are funded in large part by donations.
