Anonymous donor pays Vermont man's $1,000 rent

[December 31, 2008]  ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) -- Yes, Nathan, there is such a thing as Christmas angels. Nathan Dubray had his monthly rent paid by an anonymous benefactor who sent $1,000 in cash to his landlord on Christmas Eve.

The same day, Dubray got a note telling him the rent had been paid and wishing him a merry Christmas and happy holidays.

It was signed "Christmas Angels."

Dubray's landlord, Rod Lauman, said he got an envelope containing the cash and a note saying it was for Dubray's rent.

Both men are mystified about who gave the money. But Dubray said he wishes he knew who it was, so he could thank them.
