    The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season. Every day, from now until Christmas, we will post videos of the recipients being surprised with these life-changing gifts.
    Branson and Rainee recently purchased an old trailer home that needed a complete renovation. They planned to live in it while they wait to build their house on some land they purchased.
    They worked tirelessly on the camper over the past six months with the little time Branson has away from his work in Jackson Hole. They finally moved in all of their belongings and spent their first night in their trailer.
    A few days later, Rainee was driving home from work to put their son Krew down for a nap. She saw smoke rising in the distance and realized their home, with all of their belongings, including their dog, were consumed in fire.
    Everything they owned was burned and now they are starting over.
    Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to visit Brandon and Rainee to bring them an early Christmas gift. Watch the surprise in the video player above!

Your house, your cars, expensive jewelry, etc. This is a horrible thing to have happen to them, but thank god they have been fortunate enough to have parents house to stay at in the mean time, as well as the blessings from Secret Santa.

    Lord we just thank and praise You that the livesof this small family were spared. May these gifts go a long way to helping them get back on their feet. And maybe get a new pupper! Thank you that they have a place to live even if it wasn’t what they first expected. May they feel an extra helping of the love of their Lord and Savior this season even though it has started out tragically may You literally give them beauty for ashes!
    Isaiah 61:3 “He will give them beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of heaviness.”
