Metro Detroit officer creates dolls to comfort children of first responders, military members
DETROIT โ Metro Detroit police officer Samantha Vargas lost her partner in the line of duty. Vargas knows her children know what a police officer looks like but sheโs afraid other children are getting the wrong picture. โThereโs not a day that goes by that I donโt think about his daughter.โNow, Vargas is reaching out to families who have sadly experienced that same pain. Theyโre police officers, members of the military, nurses and doctors, inspired by a tragedy, but Vargas hopeful theyโll bring comfort to any child who holds one. โI donโt think any of us can imagine being a young child and your parent never walking back through that door.
