Holliston Police 'Speechless' After 9-Year-Old Donates Tooth Fairy Money

HOLLISTON (CBS) -- While the effects of the coronavirus pandemic have been devastating, it also continues to inspire acts of kindness. The latest example is in Holliston, where police received a very special donation.

"Ever had that moment where something stops you dead in your tracks, and it leaves you speechless?" police posted to social media. "Well, as soon as we saw this envelope in the mail from our friend, 9-year old Holliston resident Rylee, we knew it was something special."

The envelope contained $5 and a handmade card with a touching message.

"Dear police officers, thank you for all that you do," Rylee wrote. "And thank you for risking your lives to keep us all safe."

She said the $5 bill came from the Tooth Fairy and reassured them "this is clean money."

⁣⁣⁣"Rylee's generosity and kindness was the very thing we all needed today," police said. "Let's keep this positivity train moving and continue to be kind and take care of each other."
