A security camera captured the moment a selfless trick-or-treater replenished an empty candy bowl. The sweet footage is bringing TikTok to tears.
Originally shared by homeowner Leslie Hodges in a now-deleted Facebook post, numerous outlets and accounts have uploaded the footage. Most recently, the video is going viral across TikTok, gaining hundreds of thousands of new likes and shares.
Now, just like the Ring footage of a frantic woman saving her next-door neighbors from a raging house fire, this trick-or-treater’s recorded good deed is touching hearts around the world.

According to The Washington Post, the video captures 8-year-old Jackson Champagne’s harrowing Halloween experience: an empty candy bowl.
Instead of walking away empty-handed — or worse, subjecting other trick-or-treaters to the same fate — the young boy reaches into his own candy bag and restocks some of the candy for the next kids.
The Hodges family, whose porch camera recorded the viral moment, explained that they put out a candy bowl so that Leslie Hodges could take their 3-year-old daughter trick-or-treating, as her firefighter husband was on duty that night.
The Washington Post reported that Hodges’ husband sent her the video of Jackson and said, “You won’t believe this.”
“He renewed the faith that there are still some good people out there,” Hodges said.
According to Jackson’s family, this good deed was not out of character for the boy. “That’s the type of kid Jackson is. He’s always giving,” Jackson’s dad, Ty Champagne, said to The Washington Post.
“He’s a very sweet, kind and soft-spoken kid. I’ve never seen a moment where he acts out negatively toward humanity.”
