Ames Kmart Hopes for Anonymous Donor, Too

While anonymous donors have been paying off layaway bills for needy families in some stores across the country, it has yet to happen here in Ames as of Friday morning.

“Anonymous donors have been popping up a lot of different places,” said Bill Gier, Ames Kmart's general manager. “No one has popped up here.”

In Mount Pleasant, S.C., a  website reported that $800 in layaway bills had been paid.

It's also happened in There workers said they're having a hard time trying to decide whose bill to pay.

Gier hopes to have that same problem.

“I think it's a great thing that they are doing,” Gier said.
