What started with a crime ended with an act of kindness that's left a lasting impression on a child and the community. Cezar Perez is a happy 9-year-old, known in the town for his warm smile while riding his most cherished possession: his bike. But while at football practice Thursday, his bike was stolen.Cezar uses the bike to get to school and practice, and go to the Boys and Girls Club."What I've learned from my community, what I've learned from my mayor, what I've learned from my administration, what I've learned from my chiefs is it's actually better to give than to receive.
With an attitude of gratitude and their belief in the goodness of people restored, the Passaic Police Department not only gifted Cezar a new bike but also a renewed faith in his community.In:
