"Meet Jacob Hughes, an 11-year-old boy from Tennessee who loves Scooby-Doo, running and jumping. Oh, and he's also the kid that will restore your faith in our future generations.\nDuring the post-Sandy blackout in Lower Manhattan, I got a call from my mother who lives in my hometown of Knoxville. She had arrived at her office in the early morning to find Jacob waiting by the front door. In his hand was a giant bag of candy, his entire loot from Halloween night. \nHe asked my mother \u2014 who works with Jacob's mother \u2014 if she could send me the candy to distribute it to the kids in New York and New Jersey who didn't get to trick or treat because of Sandy. \nToday, this giant box of sweets, along with Jacob's photo and touching letter (see below), arrived at the Mashable office. We will take it to Rockaway Beach this weekend in order to fulfill Jacob's wish: to bring a moment of happiness to families who have lost everything.\n\nBONUS: 15 Amazing Acts of Kindness During Sandy\n\n\nActs Of Kindness In The Face Of Sandy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlugs R Us\n\nFree juice!\nVia BE Love\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSometimes You Need A Little Magic\nPhoto via Now This News\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUse Our Generator \n\n\"Friends and neighbors: please make use of our generator for phone charging to contact friends &amp; family to let them know how you are.
