Christmas kindness is spreading! It started with one woman at a Kmart in Grand Rapids, Mich., but now anonymous “layaw-angels” are walking into retail stores across the country and paying for strangers’ holiday purchases.

After Grace Clark heard reports about the layaway angels, she knew she wanted to help. So she went to Straub’s Kmart yesterday and gave about $125 to pay off two families’ layaway purchases, then bought wrapping paper to give to the families as well.

 “I really wanted to give back to families with young children, so they looked for layaway packages that had children’s toys and clothes,” she told The Daily. “The boxes had Barbie dolls and bracelet-making kits and books, so it was a good number of different things that I think children will really enjoy.”
