The donation went towards 350 layaway accounts that totaled $60,000

How do we know his “donations” are even for people who are needy? What insight or wisdom does it take to just throw money at a “lay-away” list? Does "lay-away” automatically mean “poor” or is it just people who maybe don’t want to take a gift home immediately, or are get their salary or checks on different cycles?

I’m not being cynical. I see such things on the news and wonder.

Who cares if they are poor or not? He did it as a Christmas Gift.... Does every gift you give at Christmas only go to the needy?

However, generally speaking Layaway is overwhelmingly used statistically by those who are in need over those who are higher up the socioeconomic spectrum.

Trust me. This Walmart lay-away would serve those of lower incomes.
