Kids write heartwarming note to cop dad helping Harvey victims

The children of a Texas cop wrote their dad a heartfelt note as he left to help victims of Tropical Storm Harvey.

“Dear Daddy, I hope you don’t get hurt, but I hope you help other people that need it more than you do. I hope no one gets hurt more. I hope everyone gets away the hurricane,” reads the note, signed by Scott and Makenna, and posted to the Waco Police Department Facebook page Monday.

Waco police posted the note along with a message about the officer’s daughter.

“I know this young lady personally,” Sgt. Patrick Swanton wrote. “And I know that it took everything that her daddy could do to keep her from loading up with him to go.”

Swanton told CNN that the officer, Waco Sgt. Scott Holt, and other off-duty cops went to Houston to join relief efforts using their own money and boats.

“They’re doing it because they care about Houston,” he said.
