Sidney Fahrenbruch, 4, gives a high-five to Master Police Officer Dave Bonday on Tuesday afternoon after she donated money from her piggy bank to Kyle Zulauf, a Longmont police officer who has cancer.

Sidney Fahrenbruch has become somewhat of a fixture at the Longmont Safety and Justice Center since Master Police Officer Dave Bonday helped clear her new house of monsters earlier this year.

“We try to make time for her to come by about once a week,” Bonday said on the steps of the police department on Tuesday, adding that he came to Fahrenbruch’s new house

Sidney, 4, swung by the department to dole out the contents of her piggy bank to help Officer Kyle Zulauf, who has been struggling with recurrent pancreatic cancer for about two years.

“I brought it to help people with cancer,” she said. “I like (police officers). They help people, and they take bad people to jail.”

“I bet he is going to have a big thank-you for you,” Bonday told Sidney. “And you get a second hug for bringing this in.”

Detective Stephen Schulz, who is president of the Longmont Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 6, said a fundraiser is planned to collect money for Zulauf and his family on Friday from 4 p.m. to closing at Tokyo Joe’s, 15 Ken Pratt Blvd. in Longmont, when the restaurant will donate 25 percent of its proceeds for the evening.
