'Layaway Angel' pays $20,000 of Toys R' Us toys again

BELLINGHAM, Mass. — The "Layaway Angel" has struck again, helping people in the Bellingham area pay off their Christmas purchases.

“As my eyes filled with tears...I vowed to pay it forward as often as I could,” a customer said.

A customer contacted FOX25 after her $175 purchase at Toys R’ Us was paid off by an unnamed person.

An employee wouldn't tell the customer who it was, but said the anonymous person paid off $20,000 worth of purchases. FOX25 has learned that it is the same person who paid off $20,000 worth of layaways last year at the Bellingham Toys R' Us.

This person has been named the "Layaway Angel" and does the anonymous donation with little fanfare.

The generous gift has touched many families and encompasses the spirit of the holiday season.
