## Resource

In the wake of 9/11, Louisiana firefighters couldn’t head to New York—but they rallied their entire state to build a symbol of solidarity: the Spirit of Louisiana fire truck. Through the “Bucks for Trucks” campaign, schoolkids, businesses, and volunteers poured in donations—like a child’s 35 cents in an Altoids tin—to raise over $1 million. Together, they built a truck that traveled to NYC, even earning a nod from President Bush, and now rests at LSU as a powerful reminder of how collective kindness can rise in times of tragedy.
