Vogel invited Skye and her family to visit her Midtown precinct on Friday, the New York Post reports. There, she presented them with a check and organized a special visit from one of NYPD’s mounted units, Little Joe.
“We were surprised when officer Vogel called us,” said Sonya Martinez, the girl’s mother. “When we showed up at the precinct the officers were very kind. They hugged us and my daughter petted the horse.”
