PFLUGERVILLE, Texas —  A 7-year-old boy donated $20 from his piggy bank to a Texas mosque that was vandalized on Monday.

The Islamic Center of Pflugerville was vandalized by someone who tore up a Quran and covered it in feces. Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime, possibly spurred by the recent terror attacks in Paris.

Outside the center Monday night, flowers took the place of ripped and soiled pages and the sidewalk was washed clean. Community members have been sending signs of support and donations to the center, including 7-year-old Jack Swanson.

“This gives me hope because this means that it’s not you know one versus the other because two years, 10 years, 50 years — I’ll be gone. But my kids and Jack, both Americans, born here are going to grow up together,”  said Faisal Naeem, a board member of the center.

Jack’s mother, Laura is not a Muslim. She said she and Jack were just acting like a neighbor should.

“We got together our pennies and it came out to $20 bucks so we did what we could,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what you believe or I believe or he believes or anybody believes. All faith is important. And especially peaceful faith I mean what happened in Paris is not what’s happening in Pflugerville. We should all be here supporting each other.”
