18 years ago, I helped save Halloween for over a thousand poor kids.

I only just realized now that this is a literally correct interpretation of that time the science museum I volunteered at put out a call for extra help for preparing "goodie bags" for the trick-or-treat event, and nobody but my parents and I showed up. So we were literally the only reason over a thousand poor kids who went to the Science Center because their own neighborhoods weren't safe were able to get candy.
