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.

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.
