momranfrdom Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just read this story about someone paying 3 people's layaway off in Michigan and thought it was worth sharing. With so much going around about thieves, needles and ill will I thought a feel good story was needed too. Secret Santa picks up 3 layaway bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaInNC Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Already donated my extra funds, unfortunately. Maybe next year.You can still do something on a small scale. Freak someone out and the next time you go thru the drivethru pay for the person behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFgrl79 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I just read about this last night at work, and I was so happy to hear about it! I wish I had hundreds or thousands of dollars to give too, but I was thinking I could at least go in and pay $50-$60 on someone's layaway needs for Christmas. I wonder if that would be too little to make a difference though...? I really want to help make someone's Christmas a little better, so no amount is too small right?

tinkrbel Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 . I wonder if that would be too little to make a difference though...? I really want to help make someone's Christmas a little better, so no amount is too small right? Every little bit helps, some people struggle to make ends meet and that 50$ saved from gifts could go to a nicer meal or maybe they will turn around and help someone they know in need. The next time I see a good sale at the grocery store I'll buy some extra and donate to a local meeting place for low income folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 absolutely, that $50 might make the difference on if it can get picked up before or after the holidays...... if nothing else it will brighten someone's day for sure to know someone cared and thought of them, no one said you HAD to pay off lay a ways, i think the spirit here was not that she basically paid off a few law a ways but that she gave what she didn't have to to people she didn't know... that made a difference for all those who received and heard the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFgrl79 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Right then! I will hit my local Kmart on Tuesday (day off)! Hopefully they have heard of this and won't look at me like I'm nuts when I ask to go through their layaway tickets lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
