Key to awesomeness: Hudson’s mom, Marnie Matz takes photos for the police department and when he heard they were looking for money to help with the K-9 program Hudson went to his room and got the $3 he had earned cleaning rocks in the yard and asked his mom to bring the department the money. He said he felt like it was the right thing to do and even if the money couldn’t do very much, it would help some. "It’s not about how much you give it’s about how much of what you have you give," he said. He said everyone was happy, including the department’s dog, when he brought in the donation but he didn’t know what else he would have used the money for.
