Teen raises $186,000 for 81-year-old Walmart worker so she can pay off her mortgage and finally retire

We’re all taught as youngsters to help people who are perhaps less fortunate than ourselves.

Doing nice things for people and making gestures to improve their lives should be part and parcel of modern day society. Sadly, the concept of charity and giving to others when you have an excess is something that appears to have been on a steady decline over the years.

It is not entirely dead, though. Not yet.

No, every once in a while we stumble across a story like this one, that perfectly demonstrates the beauty found in going above and beyond for strangers in need.

Nola Carpenter, who turns 82 this month, has been working at a Walmart for more than 20 years, her daughter said.
