Humanity has once again proven this to be true when a team of dedicated volunteers transformed an empty Las Vegas lot into a healing garden.

After the horrible shooting incident that occurred in Mandalay Bay casino that took 58 lives and injured hundreds more, another story of love and compassion is exactly what we need.

The Las Vegas Healing Garden was made available to the public on Friday after the volunteers spent the week planting greenery and paving walkways.

A “Remembrance Wall” where 58 smiling photos of the Las Vegas shooting victims was installed in the oasis.

The garden which was spearheaded by landscape designer Jay Pleggenkuhle of Stonerose Landscapes also mounted a huge oak tree in the middle of the garden called the “Tree of Life”.

The garden which is located at 1015 S Casino Center Blvd. was not originally intended to be permanent. The plan was just for the memory of the victims to have a temporary asylum.

However, for something that is noted to be the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, it only made sense to build a stable sanctuary like this; and the Las Vegas city officials agree. This movement was able to raise $300,000 to cover the construction costs.

Pleggenkuhle received dozens of flower and shrubbery donations from local nurseries, all of which were planted by hundreds of volunteers.

“The cool thing about the park is it’s being built completely by donations and volunteer efforts,” Pleggenkuhle told DTLV.

“The main point of the park wasn’t so much the end result but bringing people together for something positive.”

Taylor Winston, an Iraq veteran, jumped immediately into action this past Sunday during the Las Vegas shooting which included stealing a pick-up truck and transporting victims to the hospital.

The 29-year-old was able to quickly find a truck with the keys inside after automatic gunfire started during the Route 91 Harvest music festival.

Winston loaded the most critically injured victims he could find into a stolen truck and drove to Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center before ambulances had even arrived on the scene.

According to CBS News, Winston, and girlfriend Jenn Lewis were dancing the two-step, stage right. Moments later, the gunfire began.

“Once we dropped them off, we were like well, let’s go back for round two and go get some more,” he said. “I transported probably 20 to 30 people injured to the hospital.”

Several days later, the owner of the truck and Winston released a photo of their text conversation. The truck owner sent the following inquiry to Winston:

“Hey Taylor told you might have the keys to my truck?? All I won’t is the key. Other then that its all water under the bridge to me and hows the people you hauled doing”

To which, Winston replied:

“I have em for ya. When do you want to meet for em? We’re at the Monte Carlo. I took about 30 critically injured to the hospital. Your truck was extremely important saving those peoples lives. I don’t know if they all made it.”

This past weekend over 20,000 country music fans gathered in Las Vegas for the outdoor Route 91 Harvest Festival, a 3-day country music festival featuring performers like Eric Church, Sam Hunt and Jason Aldean.

Sunday night, the last night of the concert, a lone gunman used up to 20 rifles to sniper the crowd with a barrage of rapid-fire bullets from the 32nd floor window of the Mandalay Bay Hotel located across the street from the main stage. After more than 10 minutes of horrific terror, at least 59 people have been reported killed and over 500 more injured.

This has been categorized as the worst mass shooting in modern American History.
