  • The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local man gift $500,000 this holiday season! Secret Santa is a real person who wants to remain anonymous and wants to help as many people as he can.
    We will be surprising deserving people and families every day from now until Christmas with gifts unique to their circumstances.
    Brad Jordan was a volunteer firefighter who worked for the city of Idaho falls until he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. He has taken care of his wife, who battled a brain tumor and then breast cancer.
    He was his mother’s caregiver until she passed away and then Brad stood at his father’s side until he died last year. This year he has helped his wife’s mother move from her home into a retirement community and he goes in every day so his wife can see her mother.
    Brad has been the sexton on the Milo Cemetery. He gets calls when people pass away and makes sure the cemetery is in order for funerals. He also mows the lawn to make the cemetery presentable. Little funds are available for the cemetery and Brad gives freely to the cause.
    Brad has been trying to do kickboxing classes to help with his Parkinson’s Disease but they can be expensive. He also needs some medical equipment at home and the Milo Cemetary needs a new lawnmower.
    Secret Santa sent the East Idaho News elves to find Brad and surprise him with an early Christmas gift. He was hard to catch - but the littlest elves were put on the case and we eventually found Brad!
    Watch the video above to see how it all happened.

    Secret Santa isn’t only helping the people featured in these videos. He’s definitely inspiring all the viewers to be generous when and if they can.

      You're right, Hannah. Yesterday, an elderly man was standing in the Walmart parking lot. He had a sign saying he was out of propane. I had little cash so I went back into the store and bought an item and requested cash back I pulled up to the man and gave him the money. I don't know if he was really out of propane or not. I have been cold in my life and I have been helped by others. Having watched so many of the Secret Santa videos I knew I had to do something.

    Nate,
    You are a setting some really good examples for your children, it wouldn't surprise me at all if one of them takes your job in about 20 years, I think it's awesome you get to include your family in this gift giving extravaganza.
    Merry Christmas🎅🎄🎁💝🎆✝️🕊️

    The way his face lit up when he saw those children.. the money will sure come in handy & he was evidently so grateful, but do you know what?! Innocent, free cuddles from little ones go so far for some people, & you can tell he’s a true family man with a heart of gold. He was besotted with those little ones, & it brought tears to my eyes at how loving & precious little moments like that can be. So many blessings to this wonderful family ❤️ (& sending hugs from the UK!) x

Second Nate you're a Wonderful Man who gives a light to people in need , and you bring your Family with you so as the Children can see what Humanity means by giving to those less Fortunate than themselves.
