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.
