A chance encounter with Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies led to the surprise of a lifetime for one little girl.
It was the case of the century, and 8-year-old Aubrey Silva is on the case. Despite wearing braces on her legs and suffering from a brain tumor, she's incredibly mobile. Seeing Aubrey play, it's hard to believe that just three years ago she was confined to a wheelchair undergoing several procedures at Stanford.
"She had surgery back in August of 2019, and a stroke shortly thereafter, which was the worst part of our journey," recalled Kathryn Silva, Aubrey's mother. It was about then that Aubrey had a chance encounter with sheriff's deputies and a K9 unit. Aubrey didn't forget their meeting, and evidently, neither did the deputies.Their connection has continued and has brought some much-needed comfort to this ailing little girl, giving her a chance to be detective for a day.
"You're a detective, detectives are so strong and brave," Kathryn said, comforting Aubrey when the attention became overwhelming. With her undergoing surgery Friday, that comfort will go a long way."It's not easy, it's not easy at all. And neither is solving this case. But after catching her man, there was a twist. The 30th Academy Class of the Santa Clara Sheriff's Department all pitched in to make a little girl's wish come true.That's right, an all-expense paid trip to Disneyland. And an opportunity for recruits to be reminded why they signed up for this job. Recruit Grayson Suttle sums it up."We're all walking around teary-eyed and we're reminded why we signed up to do this job.
