Nita Renee just wanted one thing for her six-year-old daughter this year: to give her the kind of Christmas she deserves. The mom has been saving up and slowly but surely paying off her layaway bill at a Tulsa Walmart. She wasn't the only family working hard to give their little ones a magical holiday. So, you can only imagine the stunned faces of the 53 families who walked into that Walmart to pay off their bills when the cashier dropped a stunning bomb on them…
Two anonymous strangers from the area paid off all of their layaway bills. "I've been off work for a year and a half so it's been kind of tight," said Nita.
When the cashier announced the $215 she owed had been covered by a "secret santa" she broke down into tears. No one knows who the anonymous donors are, just that they're two women who work at a nearby manufacturing company.
"Ha ha! You're not going to find out," Walmart spokeswoman Kelly Price told us. "I'm going to say it's the best company in Tulsa to work for." Kelly handpicked the receipts to make sure it was families getting the secret surprise. She says she hopes it will inspire them to pay it forward.
"Even if those families can offer their time, or their service or just a kind word to someone, even if they don't have the money," she said. "That's worth it. And that's a way to pay it forward."
