How Even a Small Gesture Can Make a Difference

Last week, we received a package at Mashable HQ from Jacob Hughes, an 11-year-old boy from Tennessee. The package contained all of his Halloween candy, which he asked us to deliver to kids affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Amanda Wills, one of Mashable's editors, is from Jacob's home of Knoxville -- her mother received the package and promised to send it along to us. Many members of our staff have been active in helping out with Sandy relief, as our New York City home continues to be affected by the storm.
This weekend, Mashable's Sharon Feder took Jacob's gift to the Rockaways, where it will be enjoyed by those children who missed Halloween due to the storm.
Below, see the letter that Jacob sent with the candy. His is an inspiring story that encourages us all to make a difference. Thank you, Jacob.
