Jackson told Fox News that he learned about first responders’ jobs at school and was touched by their dedication. He took it upon himself to write a letter to the Salem Fire Department and include $11 from his piggy bank.

“This is from my money to you guys” was written at the bottom corner of the page, complete with an arrow indicating the location of the cash.
