OMAHA, NEBRASKA-- The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and worn-out boots. With him were three small children.He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn't be able to afford it all before Christmas. Then a mysterious woman stepped up to the counter."She told him, 'No, I'm paying for it,'" recalled Edna Deppe, assistant manager at the store in Indianapolis. "He just stood there and looked at her and then looked at me and asked if it was a joke. I told him it wasn't, and that she was going to pay for him. And he just busted out in tears."
At Kmart stores across the country, Santa seems to be getting some help: Anonymous donors are paying off strangers' layaway accounts, buying the Christmas gifts other families couldn't afford, especially toys and children's clothes set aside by impoverished parents.Before she left the store Tuesday evening, the Indianapolis woman in her mid-40s had paid the layaway orders for as many as 50 people. On the way out, she handed out $50 bills and paid for two carts of toys for a woman in line at the cash register."She was doing it in the memory of her husband who had just died, and she said she wasn't going to be able to spend it and wanted to make people happy with it," Deppe said.
The woman did not identify herself and only asked people to "remember Ben," an apparent reference to her husband.Deepe, who said she's worked in retail for 40 years, had never seen anything like it."It was like an angel fell out of the sky and appeared in our store," she said.Most of the donors have done their giving secretly.Dona Bremser, an Omaha nurse, was at work when a Kmart employee called to tell her that someone had paid off the $70 balance of her layaway account, which held nearly $200 in toys for her 4-year-old son."I was speechless," Bremser said. "It made me believe in Christmas again."
Dozens of other customers have received similar calls in Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana and Montana.The benefactors generally ask to help families who are squirreling away items for young children.They often pay a portion of the balance, usually all but a few dollars or cents so the layaway order stays in the store's system.The phenomenon seems to have begun in Michigan before spreading, Kmart executives said."It is honestly being driven by people wanting to do a good deed at this time of the year," said Salima Yala, Kmart's division vice president for layaway.
The good Samaritans seem to be visiting mainly Kmart stores, though a Wal-Mart spokesman said a few of his stores in Joplin, Mo., and have also seen some layaway accounts paid off.Kmart representatives say they did nothing to instigate the secret Santas or spread word of the generosity. But it's happening as the company struggles to compete with chains such as Wal-Mart and Target.Kmart may be the focus of layaway generosity, Yala said, because it is one of the few large discount stores that has offered layaway year-round for about four decades.The sad memories of layaways lost prompted at least one good Samaritan to pay off the accounts of five people at an Omaha Kmart, said Karl Graff, the store's assistant manager.
"She told me that when she was younger, her mom used to set up things on layaway at Kmart, but they rarely were able to pay them off because they just didn't have the money for it," Graff said.He called a woman who had been helped, "and she broke down in tears on the phone with me.She wasn't sure she was going to be able to pay off their layaway and was afraid their kids weren't going to have anything for Christmas.""You know, 50 bucks may not sound like a lot, but I tell you what, at the right time, it may as well be a million dollars for some people,"
Graff said.Graff's store alone has seen about a dozen layaway accounts paid off in the last 10 days, with the donors paying $50 to $250 on each account."To be honest, in retail, it's easy to get cynical about the holidays, because you're kind of grinding it out when everybody else is having family time," Graff said. "It's really encouraging to see this side of Christmas again."Lori Stearnes of Omaha also benefited from the generosity of a stranger who paid all but $58 of her $250 layaway bill for toys for her four youngest grandchildren.
Stearnes said she and her husband live paycheck to paycheck, but she plans to use the money she was saving for the toys to help pay for someone else's layaway.In Missoula, Mont., a man spent more than $1,200 to pay down the balances of six customers whose layaway orders were about to be returned to a Kmart store's inventory because of late payments.Store employees reached one beneficiary on her cellphone at Seattle Children's Hospital, where her son was being treated for an undisclosed illness."She was yelling at the nurses, 'We're going to have Christmas after all!'" store manager Josine Murrin said.A Kmart in Plainfield Township, Mich., called Roberta Carter last week to let her know a man had paid all but 40 cents of her $60 layaway.Carter, a mother of eight from Grand Rapids, Mich., said she cried upon hearing the news.
She and her family have been struggling as she seeks a full-time job."My kids will have clothes for Christmas," she said.Angie Torres, a stay-at-home mother of four children under the age of 8, was in the Indianapolis Kmart on Tuesday to make a payment on her layaway bill when she learned the woman next to her was paying off her account."I started to cry. I couldn't believe it," said Torres, who doubted she would have been able to pay off the balance. "I was in disbelief. I hugged her and gave her a kiss."

Best feel good story I've read so far.
Now maybe it's just that I've become jaded over the years as to what christmas is really all about but frankly, wtf is someone doing buying $200 worth of T O Y S for a 4 yr old? That's a shit load of stuff for a 4 yr old.
I get my great niece toys from walmart or zellers and they have literally hundreds of toys for under $5.00 and some fancy electronic gadgets for around $50. The best one I got her (drove her mother nuts) was a small electric guitar that played all the riffs....for how much? $8.00 and it included batteries.
I dunno, I appreciate and applaud the good samaritans but really, do kids absolutely need all this stuff? I remember getting a fair bit as a kid (3 or 4 presents plus socks and underwear etc) but remember being just as happy getting a couple of dinky toys or hot wheels as the most expensive one.....
I think we're sending the wrong message here.....

How do you get we're sending the wrong message? Did you pay off someone's layaway plan? What message do you wish to send? Food for thought, it's not just Christmas that you are jaded about.
I understand your logic but passing judgement on what some good samaritan donates or parent(s) spend at Christmas is inappropriate at best regardless of the child's age.
Walmart and Zellers toy prices aren't cheap.
30.00 is an average price for a decent toy, so 6 toys with taxes will be 200.00 plus. You said yourself that you would get 3/4 gifts so that would run 120.00 plus and in the 1970's that may have been 50.00-80.00 depending on the toys and that was alot of $. Those matchbox and dinky cars that were 00.50 are now 5.00 plus. Those hundreds of toys for under 5.00 at Zellers usually aren't good ones or the latest, greatest toy. You said yourself that the 'fancy electronic gadgets go around 50.00, well 4 of them different games is 200.00 plus.
Check the prices of the quality toys:
https://www.toysrus.ca/home/index.jsp?categoryId=2567269
I feel my comments are appropriate because:
1) if you can't afford to buy something, you shouldn't......
2) I dont' know what you mean by "decent" toys.....I'm there quite often buying for kids and you can get great stuff for under $10.00. I bought my niece a learning computer for $18.00 when she was young.....and yes, I'd get one expensive gift worth maybe $10.00 and the rest would be (like I said) dinky cars or hot wheels at $0.79 each.
3) I don't know if you're familiar with kids these days but from what I hear from my niece (about my great niece) and other parents is that 99% of the stuff the kids get aren't touched again after Christmas week.....for example: my great niece is....4 now, on Christmas morning she tears into presents, looks at it for a second, tears into the next, and so on. There's usually ONE present that she'll pick up and play with the rest of the day. The rest? Forgotten.....
Yes, I have been jaded by the commercialism that is rampant at Christmas and have felt this way for 30 yrs or more but that doesn't change the fact that so many are going into debt for things that are simply thrown out down the road. Specially when there are kids around who would be happy with ONE $2.00 present........
I had a really good year a few years ago and my gf was working at a bar and they were collecting for the chum Christmas wish. I put aside $300.00 to buy gifts for toddlers, 7-10 and teens. I bought things like walkmans, curling irons, hair dryers, the latest doll, and baby toys. I filled my pickup to the brim and it took 4 people 20 minutes to empty. When put on the donation table (30" wide x 7' long) the stack was about 3 feet high.
Anyhow, it isn't that I don't think the good samaritans are good, it's just that example of $200 for a 4 yr old tells me someone is overspending...by a LOT......

I recall that you donated $ when you were out of work, and again I applaud that. You're probably the kind that would help build a habitat house because you're skilled in those areas which is the same as the labour is worth more than 70.00.tboy said:
Stop being this guy!
Be like this guy
Be like this guy
Holy crap hof, let me see if I can address all that:
1) Hot wheels/Lego etc: You can still get lego sets for under $10.00, only the fancy space sets etc are more costly. If you shop around you can get really good sets on sale. Small die cast cars are still only a couple of bucks, least at the walmart up here. (since they are all made in china now with lead paint).
2) Yes, I agree that kids playing with one toy out of them all has been going on for ages. That doesn't make it right though.
3) Habitat for Humanity: OMG I can't tell you how many times I tried to work it out so I could. When I was earning I didn't have time and when I wasn't, I was trying to get work.
4) As for my niece and her daughter, I can't really answer that but I've been to their place and, well, it's not dirty per se but it hasn't been the neatest.
5) No, never put anything on layaway. If I can't buy it then and there due to a shortage of $$$, I don't buy it. I learned a LONG time ago to live within my means (hence why I don't have anything but a pay as you go credit card). Yes, I do owe money on my truck and I have a mortgage, but that's it. The local HD up here has contractor credit card days and sure, I could easily get one and buy that bandsaw I want, but nope....one gets into TOO much trouble that way....
As I've said, I applaud the samaritans for doing a good deed but the $200 still sticks in my craw......I think it sort of comes from my niece. She has asked to borrow money from me from time to time yet I read on facebook how she keeps losing or breaking her cellphone and how she doesn't know what to get for her next tattoo. I got into a big argument with her when I said "wtf do you need a cellphone for, and why the fuck are you getting another tattoo"? (btw, she's on welfare, but did get a part time job, and I think what bothers me most is that a member of MY family is on welfare.....) And I flipped OUT when I read that she was planning a trip to CUBA......while on WELFARE? What the FUCK??????

Ohio teen runner helps carry competitor to finish
(AP) – 4 hours ago
WEST LIBERTY, Ohio (AP) — A western Ohio high school runner is being praised for her sportsmanship after helping a struggling competitor finish their race at the state track meet.
Meghan Vogel of West Liberty-Salem High School had won an earlier race but was in last place in the 3,200-meter run Saturday as she caught up to Arlington sophomore Arden McMath, whose body was giving out. Instead of zipping past McMath to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel decided to help. She put McMath's arm around her shoulders, dragged her the final 20 meters and pushed her competitor over the finish line before crossing it.
Vogel tells the Springfield News-Sun ( ) she's humbled by the supportive messages she's since received from friends and strangers.
Vogel says she believes other distance runners would've done the same thing.

FEEL GOOD STORY! Michael Rosati graduates!
FEEL GOOD STORY! Michael Rosati graduates!
From patient to practitioner[h=2]‘It’s my time to give back’ says nursing grad[/h]
Nursing grad Mike Rosati is starts work at the Hamilton General Hospital next week.
Cathie Coward/The Hamilton Spectator
Michael Rosati has grown up in hospitals surrounded by nurses, and now plans to become one. Since he was six-months-old, Rosati has undergone 25 different cranial and facial surgeries to combat the effects of Crouzon syndrome, a genetic disorder where the skull bones fuse. Not only did Rosati have to go through painful surgeries, he also had painful headaches due to fluid build up surrounding the brain.
“I considered the hospital my temporary home,” described Rosati. “So nurses, doctors, anesthesiologists, dietitians, they were like my brothers and sisters because that’s all I knew.”
Tomorrow, Rosati, 21, will join the family when he graduates from Mohawk/McMaster’s nursing program.
Rosati has Crouzon syndrome. This alters facial features, lowers the ears and narrows the palate, among other things. Rosati has had three shunts to relieve pressure on his brain, has titanium plates in his skull, and has had two ribs removed and placed with his skull to give better bone structure. More recently, he underwent two jaw surgeries to align his teeth.
“They brought my upper jaw forward 17 mm and then the next summer after that they brought my bottom jaw 7 mm forward,” explained Rosati. Rosati was constantly surrounded by adults in the hospital, one of those adults was his mother, Ann, who also a hospital nurse.
“She made sure her son had the best care,” laughed Rosati. “I’m so grateful that I have her, and my dad he’s been very supportive, and I have a brother, so together I’m just very thankful.”
Going to the hospital every two weeks was part of life for Rosati. It didn’t affect him socially as a kid though said Rosati, because the social butterfly didn’t know any better and all his friends at Saint Ann’s Catholic Elementary were supportive. But his academic progress suffered by being pulled out of classes for months of recovery.
“When I was in Grade 6 I did have a Grade 3 reading level, a Grade 3 math level, and all that stuff,” explained Rosati. “So I ended up going through school with a specialized program, which I considered a military program, because it was one-on-one.” In the end, Rosati graduated from Saint Ann’s on the honour roll.
“The teachers that I had there, they made me who I am today,” said Rosati. “And my parents. I come from a very supportive family. They were behind me 1,000 per cent.”
Rosati doesn’t let his condition effect his everyday life. He enjoys road hockey, the outdoors, video games and chatting with friends. “I don’t let the social stigma get to me by any means,” said Rosati. “I never have. Everyone has their good days and bad days. I look down the positive road. I look at myself in the mirror and I say, ‘this is who I am.’ I like to be happy, I’m very happy and optimistic person, and that’s the road I want to continue to go down.”
Now he will be graduating tomorrow with a degree in nursing from McMaster.
The decision to become a nurse was obvious for Rosati. He found it fascinating when his mother, coming home from her shift, would tell him all about her day. Also growing up in a hospital he knows what he was given and now wants to give back.
“Nurses have given me their time, and doctors have given me their time, now it’s my time to give back,” said Rosati. “This is my gift back; I’ve been a product of the hospital so now it’s my turn.”
Rosati would like to eventually focus in pediatrics and neurosciences. On Monday Rosati starts in the clinical neurosciences unit of the Hamilton General.
