With her $1,000, Janet Page drives around her small town of Carlisle, Indiana, surprising strangers by paying for things they need. Her first stop is Carlisle's volunteer fire department, which needs a basket-type stretcher. Janet agrees to buy one to rescue people in hard-to-reach places.
Next, Janet heads to the local hardware store to buy dog and cat food for a kind woman who cares for stray animals in Carlisle—a city with no animal shelter.
