What a nice story with a week to go before Christmas.
Meet CJ DeJohn from Cleveland, a 6-year-old with a rare heart defect who wants to be a police officer when he grows up. That dream came true yesterday when the Cleveland chapter of A Special Wish Foundation teamed up with the Cleveland Police Department and made CJ a police chief for a day.
His job? Find “The Crump” — a Grinch-like villain who stole all of Clevleand’s Christmas presents:
In 2.5 hours, CJ will be the new @CLEPolice Chief. Can he save Cleveland & Christmas? Find out today! #CJsavesCLE pic.twitter.com/psboqvZIUh
