Just 8 weeks prior, he had been in a devastating accident that left him with severe injuries and the loss of both hands. With nowhere to sit and standing not an option due to his leg injuries, the young man found himself in a difficult situation. To make matters worse, an adult attending the event callously told him to “suck it up and sit on the floor.”

Without hesitation or a second thought, School Resource Officer Eric Fairless sprang into action. He quickly assessed the situation and recognized that the young man needed help. Eric went above and beyond his duty to ensure that the young man was comfortable and able to enjoy the Christmas program. He found a chair for him so he could watch the program with dignity and respect.
