The heartwarming incident unfolded on the spooky night of October 31st when a family in the neighborhood decided to share the Halloween spirit by leaving a bowl of goodies on the porch for trick-or-treaters while they were not home. Little did they know, their act of generosity would lead to a beautiful display of kindness by two young boys, Liam and London.

The two boys saw someone take all of the candy in the bowl, so they refilled the bowl with thier own candy and even handed out treats and toys they received to other families.

Local news caught wind of the heartwarming story and decided to interview the young heroes. It was during this interview that the touching reason behind their altruism came to light. The boys shared that they lost their older brother last December. In the face of their own grief, they wanted to spread joy and kindness to others.

Their selfless act quickly captured the hearts of the community, prompting an outpouring of support. Struck by the boys' resilience and compassion in the face of personal tragedy, neighbors, friends, and even strangers rallied together to make a difference in their lives.

A GoFundMe campaign was launched with the goal of providing the young heroes and their family with a well-deserved vacation.

So far, close to $6,000 has been raised.
