Eight year old Jayden Gilmer wanted to do something nice for local first responders. He had some money from his allowance, and some from his birthday saved up, said his father Matt.

Eight year old Jayden Gilmer wanted to do something nice for local first responders.

He had some money from his allowance, and some from his birthday saved up, said his father Matt.

With the money he purchased some coffee and donuts and headed to the fire hall, where his offering was well received.

So, young Jayden did it again.

More coffee and donuts were purchased and it was off to the RCMP detachment.

“We buzzed and told the lady what we were doing,” said Matt, adding they were let in and four officers partook of the coffee.

“They told us after COVID they’d tour us through the building,” said Matt.

Jayden had one more idea, he wanted to buy some pet food for the local SPCA. Dad said his son’s savings were a bit short, but he and mom Kim topped off Jayden’s savings and they were able to make a donation to the local pet shelter.
