If you need a little something hopeful to start your day off right, this is it.
On January 3, the Hull Central Community Policing Team on Osborne Street came to the aid of a family who escaped domestic violence.
When the police came to help them, the officers realised that the toddler in the family was left with nothing.
"Yesterday we dealt with a family fleeing domestic violence, with no clothes, shoes or toys for a toddler," a tweet from the Hull Central account read.

However, the good Samaritans at the police force came together to provide for the family. Leaving a domestic abuse situation can be difficult, but the support given by others proves so heartening.
"Less than 12 hours later the staff at Osborne street have managed to pull together three carloads of items for them," Hull Central tweeted.
How touching! It's uplifting to know that there are compassionate, kind souls out there like the police working at Hull Central.
Generosity and team spirit seem to be in abundance there.
The force also pooled their resources at Christmastime to donate food to Westbourne House, a homeless centre in Hull.

We are so inspired by the officers at Hull Central.
Their work to help the homeless and those in domestic violence situations, especially vulnerable children, is quite admirable.
A spokesperson for the Humberside Police spoke to the Hull Daily Mail about the importance of addressing domestic abuse, saying, "Domestic abuse comes in many forms.
"It's not simply about violence. Controlling behaviour can be equally dangerous and unpleasant and may lead to you feeling isolated from friends and family.
"If someone takes away simple everyday items like a mobile phone or stops you having access to money, it can strip away every ounce of self-confidence. You don't have to put up with this kind of behaviour.
"Tackling domestic abuse is a top priority for us. We want to help you, your friend or anyone affected to break the cycle and get away from violent and controlling partners.
"We can't do it alone though. If you are in an abusive or controlling relationship or think you know someone who is, then call us on 101. We will help."
