DALLAS – Across the country, there’s a holiday tradition blooming that involves a group of “Layaway Angels” who show up at stores and pay off the layaway plans for complete strangers ahead of Christmas.
Two such “angels” happen to play for the Dallas Mavericks.
Veteran guard Devin Harris and forward Dwight Powell have worked with the nonprofit group Pay Away the Layaway the last few years and they were back at it this season, showing up at a local store and footing the entire bill for 50 local families in need.
It’s a day, Powell said, they anticipate all year long.
