Courtney Thomas has a child who's battling cancer and placed a sign in her yard so kids would not be disappointed when they knocked on her door on Halloween hoping for candy.

When she went outside later that evening she found a pile of candy left at the sign.

This is what she wrote:

"I can't stop crying.

If anyone thought there was no hope in our kids and teens you're wrong.

The SOLE purpose of us putting this sign in our yard today was so kids wouldn't run to our door and be disappointed (our neighborhood usually gets 300-400 kids).

I looked on our doorbell camera tonight and saw that kids had been stopping at the sign. T.j. Thomas and I just went outside and found this.

The picture doesn't do it justice, it's a LOT and the good stuff even.

Seriously... If the parents of anyone who did this sees this, PLEASE tell them how much it means to us and our kiddos. On the best candy night of the year kids freely and generously shared with strangers and showed so much love and kindness. So amazing."
