    This weekends' feel good story

    Woman Visits Toys ‘R’ Us, Pays Off Everybody’s Layaway Accounts

    A woman is being hailed as a layaway angel after she went into a Toys ‘R’ Us store in Bellingham, Mass., on Wednesday and paid off every open layaway account -- giving about 150 customers with items on layaway an early Christmas present.

    The generous donor paid $20,000 to wipe the entire layaway balance at that location, a spokeswoman for Toys ‘R’ Us confirmed to ABC News on Thursday.

    This incredible act of kindness is a true illustration of holiday giving at its best,” the company said in a statement.

    The donor made the payment anonymously, but the Milford Daily News reported that she was a local resident who said she would sleep better at night knowing the accounts had been paid.

    The newspaper reported that the store’s layaway customers were in tears when they heard the good news.

    I've read it. I've read it twice, and I still don't feel good.

    My lawyer will be in touch.

    I'd never heard of Layaway Accounts before. Now I know.

    Well done woman, paid the layaways so you won't layawake at night. Win-win.
