GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) - An anonymous person has paid $4,600 to cover layaway gifts at a Walmart store in a northeast Wyoming city hit hard by a struggling oil, gas and coal industry.
Gillette store co-manager Jackline Rinehardt says the secret Santa specifically picked accounts that had toys in them.
Rinehardt tells the Gillette News Record (https://bit.ly/2hIMxgJ ) that he ended up paying off between 15 and 20 layaways.
She says a lot of people with kids in the community lost their jobs and didn’t know what they were going to do for Christmas.
