CHICAGO — Local police threw an impromptu birthday party for two young girls they found in an abandoned house.

According to the department’s Facebook, officers responded to a call of unsupervised children in a home. When they arrived on the scene, they found three girls aged 7, 2, and 1.

After an evaluation at the hospital, the girls were placed with their grandmother. The department wrote that the grandmother was “very willing to take the girls, but has limited resources due to recently losing her job.”

For the past week, officers made stops by the apartment with clothes, food, toys, diapers, and furniture for the girls.

Officers also learned two of the three girls recently had birthdays. On their off time, the officers threw a birthday celebration for them.

“Officers gave birthday presents, along with cake and ice cream,” the department wrote. “These officers have shown compassion and generosity that is rarely captured. They make us proud to be CPD!”
