Secret Santas Spread Holiday Cheer And Hundred Dollar Bills At Livonia Walmart
LIVONIA (WWJ) - Sharise Glenn of Redford Township was with her 24-year old daughter at the Walmart in Livonia just before closing last week when two women approached her.
"They said that they were Secret Santas and could they give us a Christmas gift? And I said 'sure,' and she reached inside her pocket and she pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and she said, 'Merry Christmas,'" said Glenn.
Glenn's daughter Courtney Young--who had recently lost her job-- was in the Walmart line to cancel her layaway of toys for her two young sons.
That's when her sister told her to step out of line for a minute and the ladies gave her not one, but two hundred dollars.
"My sister said, 'this is the person who just blessed you with a hundred dollars to go pay for your layaway,'" said Young.
"I was speechless, but I have to thank God because he knew what I was going through and he always provides a way."
Young says people, "were able to buy everything -- everybody was just walking out with buggies. Like, two buggies or more filled with toys. People were just crying and they were happy -- like -- my daughter gets to have an excellent Christmas."
The Secret Santas were described as two young women -- they allegedly gave money to other people there too.
