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.
Phyllis is 84 years old and goes to the gym every day. She lives in a low-income senior citizen apartment complex and recently needed her truck serviced. It really did a number on her finances.
Phyllis is the most positive person who brings people in the building joy and keeps them laughing. She has no children and never married. She is a minimalist and if you ask anyone in the building if they know Phyllis, they will just smile and say, "I can't believe that she is 84 and still goes to the gym."
She tries to help people out even when she doesn't have anything and loves the Christmas season.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Phyllis a visit and bring her some holiday cheer. Check out the surprise in the video player above!

Cherish your elders, I’m in tears right now. My grandfather just passed away two weeks ago and every day I am reminded of how humble and special this generation is. Cherish them, because further generations have a lot to live up to compared to lovely ladies and others like this.
Sorry for your loss. 💔💕
May he RIP and that you getting ok
I'm sorry for tour loss Nathan. I lost my grandparents around 18 years ago, and I think about them every single day.
They really have left very big shoes to fill indeed!
So sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can tell he meant a lot to you.
Wow, she looks incredible for 84. What a sweetie.
Exactly what I was gonna say! She is a wonderful lady and Nate's crew is AWESOME AND SECRET SANTA
Do you mean 34? What a sweetheart she is.
I know!
Does not move like an 84yr old looking very fit.
What a lovely lady!! Thanks for blessing her, Secret Santa!!
She is special and am sure that she will spread it around.
Phyllis had tears in her eyes thinking the gift card said $5 on it. Special lady. God Bless her!!!
We have a lot to learn from her!
You’re right, she was so grateful when she thought she was getting a five dollar gift card! We’re very spoiled, aren’t we!!
This is my second time watching this video, I watched it when it first came out but I just love her and wanted to see her again. She seems like such a sweet woman and we definitely can learn from her. Clearly because she's 84 looking 55 lol. I hope she gets many more years filled with love and appreciation for her.
Why am I crying over this one ? This touched my heart in a big way. What a beautiful woman. I love that she loves gnomes like I do. Thank you Secret Santa and EIN for blessing her.
hahahhahahah im crying too
I'm not crying- it is raining again in my living room.!
All of these videos hit right to my core. I love her. What a beautiful person she is. Crying my heart out. ( i might not make it thru the holidays with all of these touching real-life stories )
I love you secret Santa. Thank you for doing this every year. You’re amazing.
I cry on just about every one!
I'm literally getting tired of crying every single time I watch one of these Christmas giveaway videos .😢😢
My mom passed this year it will be my first Christmas without her I miss her this time of year she loved Christmas.
Oh, dear. This will be a difficult time for you. Weep, for she is not here, but smile a little because she was, and taught you love.
@@kathleenardrey5094 Thanks, the memories are wonderful.
In such an uncertain world its just so nice to see these random acts of love and kindness. 👏
Totally!
Phyllis, looks wonderful. That's what working out every day at the gym will get you. Great example for others !
As someone who doesnt have any grandparents left alive please cherish your elders before its too late. They have so much wisdom and love to give back
So very true! Due to family drama, I barely knew my paternal grandparents even though we only lived a few miles apart. My maternal grandmother died when I was six and my grandfather moved 1,200 miles away to live in FL. I never had the chance to have a close relationship with them and I wish things could have been different.
I know! Love the Grandmas and Granddaddys of the World! THEY ARE AWESOME AND PHENOMENAL!!!!
@@nancyellen8006 the only person who is stopping you is you! I wish I could see my grandparents again and yours live right down the street? I would rise above the drama and run to see them! They are your heritage while they are still here on the planet!

My mother never got along with her in-laws and I always felt uncomfortable around my paternal grandparents. As a young child, I didn’t understand why I felt so uneasy around them. It was probably my mother’s refusal to visit them. I did visit them occasionally with my father and siblings, but I never felt like I had a deep relationship with them.
I moved away at 20 for college. My grandparents had all passed away a couple of years later. That was my loss…
84!!! And BEAUTIFUL...I hope I age half that well.
Out of all the videos this year this woman is my favourite! What a lovely light she has! I'd love to spend Christmas with her 🥺 god bless her
I wait all year for this....She was so touched and grateful when she thought it was $5
For the Secret Santa, whom does this every year, giving to such deserving people, & To all of your "elves" from East Idaho News, may God bless each & every one of you for what you are doing.
And so many millionaires and billionaires who could do the same for their communities.
And this is how charity should be. The Secret Santa doesn't care about getting the recognition for what he does, he just does it. I wish him and his family so much love. I hope watching these reactions is warming his heart just as much as ours. Merry Christmas everyone and always try to be kind to everyone around you!
God bless you all for doing this, and may Almighty God bless and keep "Secret Santa!"
THESE VIDEOS MAKE ME HAPPY AND CRY FOR HAPPINESS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPED. THANKS SECRET SANTA.
What a nice lady.
Dear Nate and friends - and Secret Santa - thank you so much for what you do. It means so much to me. Yes, even on the other side of the world.
He and his Family are sure changing the world ...just rinse and repeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello from SE Missouri Love to your side of the planet and Happy Holiday Season!
I love love the elderly! They are so often forgotten and not seen. But we will be them one day and I would love to be like this lovely woman!
Hello from Tenerife 😊 This is being watched from all over the world.
Absolutely LOVE this show! There's a special place in Heaven for Secret Santa!! And, no one could give these gifts better than "Santa Nate and his helpers". God bless all of you.
I hope her neighbours keep her company this Christmas, what a beautiful lady 🥺
My mom lived in an assisted living home. It’s a very close community. They take care of each other. The complex does special events and cookouts for the residents.
Nice lady... very.
I will never got tired of saying GOD BLESS AMERICA
I pray to God I will still be spry enough at 84 to go to the gym and be so independent at home but I still have 18 years to go. Phyllis is a wonderful lady.
I love this!!!!!

This woman is the epitome of sweet. Such a genuine soul of a great generation. So happy to see her recognized. Lots of this generation are fading into the abyss. Recognize them if you can, they did so much for our country. ❤❤
Oh my gracious, this lady is so cool. If I lived in her towns we would DEFFO be friends.
She looks good for 84! What a great lady! Thanks EIN & Secret Santa!!
What a privilege to be a secret Santa! Thank you for taking time to think of some else.I enjoy watching

You can tell what it means to her, bless her!
It still early to me for the Christmas Decorations, but why not?
This lady deserves this
Haha I noticed that too. I also decorate very early for Christmas every year because it's my favorite time of the year, even though it's always bittersweet too. I hope she has good company in this special time, she really deserves it.
My christmas tree is already up.
I love how grateful she was with the gnomes & tree before she was given the gift cards. I'm so glad they could bring her some well deserved Christmas cheer to her. What a lovely woman.
Thank you Secret Santa for spreading joy and hope to a world in need. These videos really give me such a Christmas feeling, and reminds me of our Lord and Savior and all he did for us.
Thanks for blessing her😀
I'm in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 every year I can't wait to see what Secret Santa gives to the beautiful people out there.
Your blessings will come multiple times back to you. What a humble man you are, Secret Santa. 🙏✨🤗
Only love can light the mirror of the soul. And when it is shown , one can feel it radiate outwards without holding it back. Beautiful people.
God bless this Secret Santa, for the thought of blessing the needy people! May our Lord bless and multiply his gracious way of giving.! Only those with a giving heart can do this. I wish I could afford to at least give to my grandchildren,and my great grandchildren , in these trying times we worry because we can't show them we care. I thank God for what he gives me. I am blessed! Thank you Father God, thank you for your unfailing love, In Jesus name I pray, AMEN AND AMEN!!!
Oh she is adorable!!! What a sweet lady!!! Thanks Secret Santa for making her Christmas a whole lot brighter!
What a sweetheart! ❤❤❤
Oh I hope I look as lovely as she does when I'm 84 and this all makes me miss my mum.😭🌲❤⛧⛦from New Zealand.x
What a special sweet soul Phyllis is. You just KNOW that she will go around blessing others.
What a sweetheart. It didn't take much to make her Christmas a Special Time of year. Thank you for what you guys do, God Bless!

Now I’m crying, too🥲What a sweet lady♥️ Thank you Secret Santa 🎅
So good! This lady is living proof you don't have to become 'old'. Her appearance, her manner and bearing are of a much younger person.
84 and up to the gym!! I feel like a slug!! Very sweet lady and I hope she has a blessed Christmas! “For God so loved the World…that He gave…His one and only Son!! May that thought be your best Christmas present ever!!!

A million dollar donation to the community......May your life be blessed, thank you for putting a smile on those people faces. Happy Holiday
This is what i miss about living in an apartment complex. Discovering solitary neighbors like me and just hanging out with them. Who knew an 84yo would ask you “do you go to the gym?”
Being nosey here, Is that your real name or your alter ego. Either way that is an absolutely awesome name and unique to any other.
What a beautiful person. She was so sweet and lovely. I watched this as I’m getting ready for bed and I know I’ll fall asleep to sweet dreams now. Blessings.
Hello how are you doing?
Happy thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to everyone. God bless each and everyone of of you. Secret Santa has touched the lives of people from around the world ❤️. We love you secret Santa and his elves. Thank you Nate and your helpers for sharing with us and giving faith that there are still great people in the world 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful lady, she looks amazing!Thank you Secret Santa and Nate and his wonderful team! 🇬🇧❤️

She's a very special lady. Very grateful. Thanks Secret Santa 🎅
I hope I look that great at 85. What a wonderful lady.

She's a beautiful lady who radiates love and kindness. Her soul is beautiful too. Thank you Santa and EIN. Hope she has an extra special Christmas this year. ❤️🌹🎄
I was smiling and having fun til she said "gee I feel so special" and then I started to happy cry. Love you guys!
beautiful, just beautiful. thank you secret Santa.
Her home looks so warm and inviting. She’s looking great. I am glad that she is being blessed and feeling extra special this year as it should be.
Wonderful Wonderful blessing
She looks incredibly healthy for 84 wow 🤩
She is precious and so deserving! So beautiful! 💜😊
She is beautiful inside and out. Would have loved to see the video title say "Lovely 84-Year-old woman," instead of "Lonely 84-year-old woman," to highlight her kind and generous nature.
Another special gift to a very lovely person! I know she will be using those gift cards for others, not just herself.
Now I am crying!! What a wonderful world. Thank you for doing what you are doing. Merry Christmas everyone!
She looks so happy
Beautiful and lovely lady, God Bless her!
May the good Lord continue to bless this lovely lady with great health and success in all she seeks to do. 🙏💛
Oh my God what sweet lady, if I live around there I will keep her company well done secret Santa well done
Thank you for blessing this beautiful lady so special sharing the love ❤️
They really don't make em like they used to . Not only is this lady the sort of women singles look for these days( caring, helpful, keeps in shape, kind, i am sure a great cook) But i can tell she was a hot ticket back in the day as even now she looks not 84 at all. What a great women who deserves it. May blessings of happiness and continued health bless her this Christmas , Cheers!
I fell in live with this special woman. What strength and grace. So happy Secret Santa 🎅 decided she would be on the list.
❤❤❤❤Sweet, sweet Lady! Just precious. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
