A homeless community in Indiana gathered all they could for a donation for local officer Seara Burton, who was killed in the line of duty. Burton was kind and would often check in on the homeless, a member of the community said.

— After a police officer was shot in the line of duty just days before her wedding, the whole community grieved deeply. The idea that anything good could ever come from her passing was unimaginable. Until one day a stranger walked into the department. He held in his hand a white envelope with a sliver of hope inside — eight crumpled up $1 bills and a note that read,"People from the street.

"They gave that knowing they don't know if they're going to have another dollar tomorrow," Richmond Police Department Lt. Donnie Benedict told CBS News."That is as genuine as you're going to get. I mean, that $8 was like $8 million."
