Police Officer Joseph Quinn went to grab some dinner at Villa Borghese II, an Italian restaurant in Helmetta, New Jersey. As he went to pay for his meal, he was shocked to learn that the bill was already taken care of.
The cop was happy yet surprised about this wonderful gesture but he had no clue who paid the bill. Whoever took care of it did so anonymously.
Patrolman Quinn decided to do a bit of police work to identify the mystery donor. He discovered it was Mikayla Raji, an 8-year-old girl who lived in his community. The officer and the child had never met before, but Mikayla saw Joseph in the restaurant that night, said hello to him, and then asked her mother if they could buy his dinner. Well… she didn’t ask so much as insist.
As it turns out, Mikayla has a special place in her heart for police officers. The reason is much deeper and more powerful than what Joseph could have imagined.
Mikayla’s late father has something in common with Joseph.
Watch the video below to see the stunning connection between Mikayla and police officers in her neighborhood and beyond.
