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.
Jerry is an Engineering student from Ghana studying in eastern Idaho. He is in his senior year and hoping to take his degree back to Ghana to bless the lives of those in his country.
Jerry recently received word that his dad died. He was devastated and his roommates decided to take a hiking trip to hopefully get his mind off the tragic news from back home. Halfway through their hike, they came upon a lake and decided to take a swim.
After some time, Jerry's roommates noticed he was nowhere to be found. Jerry suffered a seizure while in the water and went under. Fortunately, two emergency room workers happened to be swimming near Jerry at the time and helped to pull him out of the water.
After several attempts. they were able to resuscitate him and Jerry began to breathe again. He was airlifted to EIRMC in Idaho Falls where doctors believe his brain had been without oxygen for nearly 15 minutes.
Jerry was in a coma for several days before miraculously waking up. Since then, he has been in and out of EIRMC and other medical facilities including the University of Utah Hospital. The doctors say it is a miracle that Jerry is alive and able to come out of this without significant damage to his brain and other vital organs.
Since the accident, Jerry has been steadily recovering and has nearly regained full mobility and speech. He has been staying with a religious leader and after months of medical appointments, he is planning to return to school in January for his final year.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Jerry a visit with an early Christmas gift. Watch the video above to see the surprise!

What a delightful young man!! And thank God for those ER workers who were on the scene when his accident happened; without them, we might not have ever had the chance to meet this fine young man. Wish him all the best with his future recovery and with his engineering degree!! You could tell how shocked he was and how much he appreciated all of the gifts.
Thanks again, Secret Santa, for tonight's smiles for us all and for helping out this kind man.
Well said 👍
I believe those ER workers were Divine intervention. Jerry is proof miracles do happen❣️
You said it in one sweetheart thank goodness to all who were involved with saving this delightful young mans life xx
@@judys5638 Absolutely!
What a awesome young man!💖💖So humble and such gratitude.
What a gracious and humble young man. He is a walking miracle, that is certain. God has a magnificent plan for Jerry and for his home country of Ghana. He is blessed beyond words. Merry Christmas Jerry.
@@RudolfKooijman Or perhaps it was Satan to try to stop him from bringing good to his home country. And God interceded and said, ‘Not today Satan, not today’. There’s a Yin and a Yang to everything. God always gets blamed for everything bad, as if only He exists.
Maybe I'm getting to be an old Scrooge but I haven't bawled at any this year like I always have in the past. But this one has been my favourite so far for this year.
@@RudolfKooijman I pity people like you.
@@RudolfKooijman shut up! God made sure he was saved. Two ER workers where just there, that’s not a coincidence, that was fate. God send them. Nobody needs your negativity here. Go and be toxic somewhere else.
@@RudolfKooijman also what happened in the past year to you? 11 months ago you sounded very different. Maybe get some help.
That had to be the most humble, genuine, heartfelt thank you I have ever heard. This young man is so very appreciative and, as the title says, absolutely stunned with the gifts. I wish him all the best with his schooling and career. What a wonderful young man. Thank you, Secret Santa, Nate, Alex and Jordan. Merry Christmas to all!
I just thought if anybody had thanked me like that, I would have cried 🙋🏼♀️🎄☮️
You said that very gracefully! I 1000% agree! GOD BLESS YOU & CONTINUED HEALING! MERRY CHRISTMAS
I agree, the best ❤️
This man has the most contagious smile! I couldn’t help but smile the entire video along with him!
I agree! My grin was matching his! It's contagious. What a wonderful young man. I'm sure his family are so very proud of him, inc his late Father.
I agree! I was laughing and crying all at the same time.
Seriously. I don't think I've ever seen anyone more appreciative in any of the SS vids. Made my morning seeing how happy he was.
I too smiled. With a tear in my eye.
Our priest is from Ghana. He is the nicest person I’ve ever met. God bless this young man.
Let Jerry from Ghana and the gentleman from Nigeria be a reminder to us all how blessed we are to be Americans. These men are truly grateful just to be here...something many of us take for granted. Their gratitude is inspiring! Wishing Jerry a full recovery & very Merry Christmas!❤️🎄❤️
Yes, I immediately thought of Presley from Nigeria when I watched this. Both radiant pure joy with just being alive!
And for one of my favorite sayings from Presley….”that’s a lot of bananas”!
So many Americans have no idea how good they have it!
Ashley…thank you for this reminder…God IS great ain’t He??!!!! 💕
Ghana is a pretty awesome place as well 💗.
"This is a lot!" , "What did I do to deserve this?" He is so humble and pure sunshine, thank you Secret Santa! 🙏💫💜
Oh my goodness, when he said his "thank you" - every word from the heart - no word easy...I could not help but weep. So beautiful. Thank you, Secret Santa, so much xoxoo
Me, too ! 😿
He's truly a miracle.
I too had a near drowning accident, though not as long, and it took months to recover, with some residual short term memory deficits.
May he be blessed with a near full recovery.
Glad you survived and are doing better.
I'm wishing for both of you full recovery
I actually almost died from drowning at my sister birthday party if my cousin didn’t see me or if she was just a couple seconds late I would died and she couldn’t even swim herself but still saved me
@@cigaftersx I tell people, factually, I died, but I got better ;)
if anyone deserves these gifts, it is this modest guy! Hope he will be recovering totally very soon.
I am a nurse, (retired now) this is nothing short of a miraculous recovery!!!! How wonderful for his family! And the community! Thank you Secret Santa!!!! God bless you!❤❤❤❤
Aaaah a fellow African, blessings from South Africa ❤
My heart goes out to Jerry and everyone who saved him ! What a blessing for this young man to receive these wonderful gifts. Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and EIN. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU !!
I hope that Secret Santa gives gifts to the people that saved this most deserving young man. With his unique skills, he will be able to help others in his community live a more richer and fulfilling life.
Stay safe, stay sane,stay Strong
Secret Santa precious work always and Love from India 🇮🇳
This young man was truly grateful for Secret Santa’s generosity ….. as he struggled to thank him, it really makes you appreciate things we take for granted. Wishing him every success in his getting a full recovery and to finish his studies to help others back home.

What a great guy, humble and appreciative. Get that degree Jerry! Best of luck to you.
Man, seeing someone live in such humble circumstances but keep such a huge smile on their face sure does remind me of how much I take for granted living in this country sometimes.
His smile and laugh are so contagious and he's so humble "What did I do to deserve that?" Wonderful young man and so deserving of these gifts.
Yay! It is 9:01 AM here in Greece, and I was waiting for this! 🇬🇷 🎄
Young man, when you go back home, please know that you have won the hearts of many Americans. We are cheering you on! You are just what the world needs. All life's good blessings to you!

I'm crying at how beautiful this is to watch! I love his heart! I watch this station every morning to see how much love there is in Idaho. We need this in Colorado Springs.
Jerry is such an INCREDIBLE young man!!!! We are all so blessed to know he exists. I just know God has a bigger plan for him and he is going to do incredible things ☺️❤️
What an incredible story this admirable young man has steered. He seems a most deserving recipient of Secret Santa’s generosity and I have no doubt he will put it to good use in life.
I pray this special young man makes a full recovery and is able to bless others when he returns home. Thank goodness others were around to save him.
Christmas is not celebrated the same in Ghana, so receiving gifts is an extra special blessing to begin with. A kind, humble, young man, Jerry will go far. Study hard on your degree fella. Mema wo tiri nkwa! ❤️🙏🎅🤶🌲
What a lovely man. His smile and reaction was just priceless.

I think he's going to remember this kindness and pay it forward the rest of his life.
I don't know who the Secret Santa is but they really are a blessing for some of the hardest hit residents of Idaho. Love it
This gentleman's smile lights up a room. Thank you Secret Santa for lighting up that smile.
