You might just need to walk into a Walmart to experience a Christmas miracle.In recent weeks, anonymous good Samaritans have paid off all layaway items in four Walmart stores in different parts of the country -- a total of more than 0,000.Julie Gates got an unusual surprise in early November when she walked into a Walmart in Derby, Vermont. A man waiting at the register offered to pay for everything she had bought and had on layaway --?and did the same thing for most customers in the store.This mystery man, who called himself "Santa," was apparently the first in a string of similar random acts of kindness in Walmarts across the United States. Since then, Walmart customers at stores in New York, Colorado and Pennsylvania discovered that their bills were taken care of and their layaway items had been paid for.All the mysterious Santas have chosen to remain anonymous -- and each has been generous in their acts of kindness.A Walmart spokesman confirmed to CNN that an anonymous donor paid for ,000 in layaway items at a Uniondale, New York, store while another spent ,000 in a Longmont, Colorado, store and a third shelled out ,000 at a Walmart in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Secret Santas have visited Walmart in seasons past, too. In 2016, a Santa paid for almost ,000 in layaway items at a store in Everett, Pennsylvania."When customers quietly pay off others' layaway items, we're reminded how good people can be," Walmart spokesman Payton McCormick said. "We're honored to be a small part of these random acts of kindness."McCormick said he doesn't know what's behind all the generosity but suspects it has something to do with the holidays.The store in Uniondale posted a picture of all the receipts from the unknown customer's act of kindness."Thank you again on behalf of the Uniondale community," the store posted on Facebook.Walmart shopper Lisa Mcmillan, who according to her Facebook profile lives in Longmont, says she was "blessed by some Christmas angel.""I had been freaking out about Christmas and not being able to get my kids presents, as I am a single mom of 5 at the moment," she posted on Facebook.On November 29, she said she received an email from Walmart that her layaway account of 0 had been paid for by an anonymous person."I pray to God that whoever did this is reading this right now...You have absolutely no idea what you did for me and how much of a burden you lifted off my shoulders," she said. 2486

of a lifetime."Watching your dad fade away sucks," said Colby Webb. Colby's dad, Larry, is fading fast after being diagnosed in May with bile duct cancer. He's now being cared for by Hospice of the Valley. With the limited time he has left, Colby was determined to give his dad one last thrill. "My dad will tell you the Corvette, that's the heart of American, it's American muscle, Americans want a Corvette," said Colby. Larry was no exception, passing along his love for the Corvette and cars to his son. "He asked when is this new Corvette going to come out, and my wife said January of 2020. The look in my dad's face when it clicked, and he realized he probably was not going to see this release just floored us, it broke my heart," said Colby. That's when Colby decided to call General Motors, who immediately agreed to deliver the car to Midway Chevrolet. "We invited all of his friends down, all the family members were down there, everybody we could call to come to see him, and see this Corvette," said Colby. Video from that day shows Larry thrilled as can be. He checked out the inside and outside of his dream car while surrounded by those he loved most. "I really did think that was his final hurrah," said Colby. Colby posted the video of the experience on Reddit, which got thousands of views. Little did he know, someone else with an similar love for cars was watching too. "I got an email two weeks later from producers with 'Jay Leno's Garage,'" said Colby. Within days the Webbs were on a private plane flying to Burbank. "We get him off the plane; there's Jay. My dad looks at my wife and goes that's Jay Leno," said Colby. All of it arranged in secret. Leno had a prototype Corvette ready to go. "Jay's not gonna call you out and let you just sit in the car," said Colby. Together, they took it for a spin, then stopped by Jay's garage for a tour of his massive car collection. "Jay Leno is one of the nicest people and his crew. Everybody was just the nicest people ever; they took care of everything," said Colby. A photo on the plane ride back showed Larry once again flashing his enduring smile. "I think it will be one of the last things he thinks about," said Colby. Larry's experience will eventually air as an episode on "Jay Leno's Garage" in the coming months.

downtown for a missing person.Four people were pulled from the debris Monday afternoon, and all were treated and released from area hospitals. However, a fifth person is still missing.Fire Chief Roy Winston said they feel they need to bring in heavier equipment to help in the search. Initially, jackhammers and smaller hand tools were being used so they didn't create more debris.Crews are searching an area estimated to be about 200-feet by 40-feet, so K9 units are being brought in to help narrow down the search area.Turner Construction will also bring in additional workers to help offload some of the concrete from the worksite.Fire crews have been working for over 19 hours at the scene, which started as a search and rescue but changed Monday around 7:45 p.m. local time to a recovery effort, according to an email sent from City Manager Patrick Duhaney to members of City Council."It goes without saying that this is a horrible tragedy," Duhaney wrote in the email. "Our thoughts are with the family of all those affected, particularly the individual who has not yet been found. We are all praying for a miracle."This story was originally published by 1163

– is an organization working to advance gender equity for women and girls. “Overall, the gender pay gap is 82 cents on the dollar right now from the most recent research this Fall of 2019. That means on average full-time working women earn 82 cents on the dollar compared to men working full time,” AAUW CEO Kim Churches said. According to Churches, the gender pay gap extends to every industry and the higher a job is in pay, the larger the gap typically is. “So the gender pay gap really is that when you have equal skills and equal educational levels, and yet women are paid systemically less than their male colleagues,” Churches said. Churches says part of the problem is that women have been historically steered toward a certain type of career that’s typically underpaid, like teaching or social work. However, she says women are still being offered less money when entering traditionally male-dominated professions. The same can't be said when the roles are reversed. “Nursing is a great example of that. More men have been entering the nursing field, and yet there’s still an 8 percent pay gap. Meaning once men entered, they were out-earning their female colleagues,” Churches said. So why is this happening? Besides traditional bias, Churches says states that haven’t updated laws are using salary history to determine future salary and women are often less likely to negotiate pay. With more dual-income parents today and more women becoming the breadwinner of their family, Churches says there needs to be updated policies, employers have to improve their practices, and women must feel empowered to navigate their own financial futures. “Frankly this is not just a women’s issue, it’s about economic security for families,” Churches said. Families that many young women hope to have. “The wage gap is supposed to close in 2048, and that is not ok. It should be now. It should have been a while ago. So I think our hope is that with awareness it can speed up and it can close faster than that,” Worden said. The girls’ story has helped to sell 0,000 worth of “equal pay” jerseys with the proceeds going toward promoting women’s economic equality.  2169

but he has not yet committed to running in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race in an attempt to be the Democratic nominee who will face Republican Sen. Cory Gardner.Hickenlooper announced his leaving the Democratic presidential primary in a three-minute video released at 11 a.m.“Today, I’m ending my campaign for President. But I will never stop believing that America can only move forward when we work together,” Hickenlooper said in the videotaped statement. “Don’t tell me that we can’t figure out how to lower prescription drug costs or tackle climate change. Don’t tell me we have to accept the number of gun deaths or the reduced job prospects of too many Americans.”"I know everyone will keep up the good fight. In just a few months, we’ve laid out a path toward a more equitable economy that doesn’t lead us to extremes. I called on my personal experience leading Colorado through tragedy to build an effective nationwide plan for gun violence prevention. And we made the case that health care is a right, not a privilege, and should be treated as such," he wrote. "When I look back at what we’ve accomplished on this campaign, I feel proud to have had you by my side every step of the way. And when I do make my next move, you’ll be the first to know."Hickenlooper, 67, has been 1284
