Central Arkansas is rallied behind a 9-year-old boy. THV11 first told you about Louie Schneider on Thursday, Feb. 7. His body is failing him and he's in hospice care.
Saturday, Feb. 9, Louie received something many children can only dream of. An Arkansas law enforcement officer organized a parade just for him. He said he wanted to show Louie that he's a brave young man. Over 100 first responder cars paraded down Louie’s street.
Louie doesn't get to leave his home. He has a chromosomal abnormality and is receiving hospice care.
"Louie fights every single day just to be alive," his mom Kristy Schneider said.
But, he's choosing to fight with a smile on his face.
His neighbor is a law enforcement officer who would like to remain anonymous, but he wanted to do something special for him.
