The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.
Mary is essentially caught in a rock and a hard place. She worked as a computer teacher at Taylor’s Crossing for many years and put in many extra hours after school, weekends, and most summers with no extra pay.
Mary has a 22-year-old daughter who is legally blind and depends on her mother for everything. Her daughter has appointments with eye specialists at the University of Utah and in between visits, she does Telehealth to stay on top of her condition.
Her youngest son is in high school, and both of Mary’s parents live with her and depend on her for help. Mary’s mom has recently had two knee replacements, which have required physical therapy, and her dad has injured his knee. Mary transports them to all their medical appointments, not to mention all the other things they need as they age.
On top of everything, the only two vehicles she has are dying and require thousands of dollars to be usable.
She just found out that one of her cars has metal in the fluids and it will cost several thousand dollars just to pull the engine to see what the problem is. Her van is 25 years old with 372,00 miles.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to visit Mary with an early Christmas gift. Watch the surprise in the video player above!

What an incredible family. I love how her daughter is her biggest fan. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Thank-you Secret Santa for your life changing blessings.
I'm glad she got a car. Im glad there's a Secret Santa in idaho because I wait for these clips every year. They give me hope, not for a gift, but more givers. Merry Christmas
Bless all of you and I hope life and the holidays is very merry and heart healing.
This is the absolute best secret Santa story that I’ve seen! I’m so glad such a wonderful deserving family received just what they needed. I’ve never seen anyone so appreciative of their Secret Santa gifts. I hope that life continues to get better for them. Merry Christmas to Nate and the rest of the crew, plus secret Santa!
Still good people in this world😂
No hyphen is to be used in your "thank you."
Thank You to whoever does this. The world needs more good people!
Yes we do I already did my part I donated a ham to the salvation army hoping it feeds a family
@@perezynkrs1 How kind of you!! Blessings to you!
@@loveforeignaccents ty it's a tradition my mom started when she died in 2013 I promised to continue that tradition hoping it helps someone else out
@@perezynkrs1 Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. 💛
@@loveforeignaccents ty I appreciate that I hope I'm making her proud
Oh my, she was so genuinely happy to receive the car. She has a lot of people depending on her so it is extremely nice that Secret Santa decided to give her this gift. She wanted her Mom, Dad, and Daughter to all be part of it. Such a wonderful soul. Here's a virtual hug for Secret Santa. Your generosity is amazing. 🎅❤
Side Note: Nate and Helpers, I love your new Santa hats. Someone put a lot of work into those and you wear them well. ❤❤❤
Great point on the hats, look great!
I really want the pattern for the crochet hats.
You’re right, just watching this one on 03 Jan 2024 and definitely cute Santa hats! Been watching these for several years from Christchurch, New Zealand! Cheers! happy New Year! Admire and respect Nate and his team throughout the year. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Her daughter is incredibly knowledgeable and well-spoken. Wish the family nothing but the best. Thank you, Secret Santa❤.
What happened to her daugther's dad?
Im from Australia and for the past 3 years i have waited all year for east idaho news to start their secret santa video's. Way to bring a tear to a grown mans eye. So awesome. Secret santa is a legend.
I'm from Perth and I completely agree with you. I binge watch them and the joy that the gifts bring these people is awesome.
@@willforbes6373 it's so awesome hey
From Manchester England and same as mate :)
What a special lady. So happy for the family
Her daughter rubbing her mothers shoulder and back is the best. You know you're a great mother when your child speaks so well and highly of you. That was too sweet 🥹
The beautiful part is she want to share the moment with her parents ❤❤❤❤
And her daughter was so happy for her.
Amazing as always and having a child who champions their mum in such a way is wonderful to see. Greetings from the UK x
Aww, I love happy, smiling Mary and am so glad she got a much-needed vehicle!!
Thanks for blessing this lovely lady and her family, Secret Santa!!!
For those who have experienced such stress hanging on your shoulders this is truly a miracle. Thank you secret Santa. Mary will sleep well with such a burden lifted.
And the most blessed and beautiful aspect of this and other car gifts, these are high quality cars with years ahead them
As a teacher, who is taking care of his parents, this one is my new favorite Secret Santa. Thanks for doing this for this wonderful lady
"As a teacher(...) favorite Secret Santa."
A teacher ought to know better than to put a comma after "teacher" in that sentence.
@@knrdvmmlbkkn from Grammarly: If the clause with as comes first, a comma is generally required. If the clause with as comes second, a comma is generally not required.
@@knrdvmmlbkkndamn you got dunked on 😂
@@knrdvmmlbkkn You must be a hoot at parties!
That Secret Santa, s/he’s got me on the brink of tears every day. These gracious people receiving gifts aren’t the only one’s benefiting from such generosity, I am as well. As my heart doubles in size with each video.
I hope you’re reading this. Thank you, S.Santa.
Sincerely, Thank You.❤
Wish I could shake your hand.
I'm pretty sure it's an older white man. ONLY bc previous years showed the back of his head but idk for sure
@@angiepangie989it's speculated that the santa is stanford smith who owns many car/rv dealerships in idaho falls, Nate did an interview with him and his wife, he is a very nice man.
Her daughter won’t stop praising how much she appreciates it and how much her mother does for her and is an angel on earth. Bless this family❤️
❤ Thank you Secret Santa 🎅 Once again you've delivered Love, Joy and Kindness to an amazing person. Blessings to you and everyone watching this sweet show ✨️
It's a tradition for me to watch this channel every Christmas season.
same here .
Same
This my first year watching and it is very moving. So glad to see these people blessed. ❤
Me too.
Faith in humanity restored.
This is the first time I haven't been crying my heart out. What a joyous woman! I found myself giggling alongside her excitement and I'm so happy for all of them!
I love how highly her daughter speaks of her. You can truly tell what a wonderful family this is.
Secret Santa you never disappoints 🎅 🤶 Thankyou for helping so many people xxx
What a deserving woman. Whoever nominated her, thank you. Thank you Secret Santa. Thanks East Idaho for being the deliverers.
What a wonderful family!
Wow! This lady is doing so much! Thank you for giving her a chance to breath and carry on! Plus it’s exactly what she wanted and needed!
I love how all the recipients of secret Santa are so humble
This woman is as deserved
Blessings to her and her family ❤️🙏
3 generations of the sweetest and most humble people, who deserve just such a blessing!
No matter what hand you are given you stand up and do what you need for your family. They would do the same for you if they are honest folks. So as much as it sounds like Mary has alot on her plate it isnt a burden. Still a gift like this sure helps. Her daugheter seems lovely too.
"No matter what hand you are given you stand up and do what you need for your family. They would do the same for you..." *Would be lovely if this were true - if everyone would live with this philosophy.*
*"Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You."* < It really IS this simple.
@@billwilson5341I agree. I often feel like I was the only child in class the day they taught us the Golden Rule.
You could just see the relief from the burden lifted. Thank you, Secret Santa! And thank you, Nate Eaton and everyone at East Idaho News for bringing us these stories every Christmas season. You've blessed us all.
So awesome to see a daughter that is proud of her mom.
I've just caught up on the last two weeks and now another one has dropped. Merry Christmas from here in Australia!
And thank you, Nate, and the rest of the Helpers for coming back year after year. ❤
What a lovely family! ❤ They seem really kind, the daughter sounds so eloquent I hope she gets to use her talent.
Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and team and of course East Idaho News!
Her daughter is very humble and well spoken. God bless this family. The dad’s smile made my day!!

i started crying when she said 'that's my car' to her parents.
That may be the single most deserving person I've ever seen receive a gift from Secret Santa.
This Lady and her family had one of the best réaction. I smiled the whole way through.

What a loving family. You can see the kindness and humbleness passing on generations. Also i love how carring the daugther is. Greetings from Austria (with Mozart, not kangaroo)

"She's done so much for this town." That's what I'm trying to be like every day. What an inspiration.
Ooh, looks like Nate now has a nice crocheted Santa hat... me likey!
Wow, Secret Santa you really do know how to make life better for such a deserving person. Thank you Mary for caring for your family the way you do you are truly inspiring. Here’s to the next 372,000 miles 💗
You can tell by the daughter what a great job she has done
What a wonderful Lady and a lovely family. The daughter was so sweet and when she realised her Mum had a new car was really touching. Another spot on gift. Nice job everyone.
Been angry since 6pm last night because I didn't get my paycheck on time AGAIN. Morning after pay day and I STILL don't have my paycheck.
Thank you Secret Santa for making that mean less to me. So happy you found this family to help. ❤❤❤
the joy she had in her eyes 😊
I love how you all are getting these really amazing people nominated!!! They are so surprised and grateful and not a bit entitled! Thank you all - American watching from Poland.

South Africa 🌍🦁🥰
This was amazing! What a mom! And how about her daughter? She raved about her Mom! There are so many unsung heroes in our lives, that never gets recognized. Thank you to Secret Santa in Eastern Idaho who is spotlighting the unsung heroes in their towns!!!
Her father’s expression is one of pure love.
Lovely lady and her daughter is fantastic.....so supportive of her and a measure of what a great mother she has. This was a joyous Secret Santa episode (through tears of joy)! Well done Secret Santa.....well done!
I'm so happy Mary even got the car she wanted . Thank you EIN for helping those that need the help . What a wonderful thing you do every day .
What a blessing to see that self-less mother/daughter receive such a wonderful gift. Secret Santa seemed to know just what she wanted, too. She was so thrilled and her daughter was so sincerely grateful, too. 😊💖
This one really got me 😭Thx Secret Santa ❤🎅🏻
This one especially moved me…I am currently caring for my parents with medical issues & it can really be a difficult road! Thankfully we have been blessed with the ability to be financially secure. I cannot imagine how incredibly hard the added burden of a disabled child & money struggles would be!
So Thank You again Secret Santa for these REMARKABLE gifts!
Much love & appreciation.
God Bless 🤍🙏🏻🥰
This was a wonderful gift for a very deserving woman and her family. Thank you Secret Santa ❤
What a beautiful story. They sure needed a car. Secret Santa you are a blessing.
Every year I always anticipate Secret Santa's gift to the people who are in dire need. Thanks to Nate and staff for bringing joy and love to the recipients.❤🎉
This is the best thing someone that have money can do for others
Amazing to watch
Great to see some happy stories. Love from the UK.
When I see such deserving people receive life changing gifts like this, I feel as though I have somehow been a small part of things, as though I am standing with Nate at the door too. The goodness of Secret Santa extends much farther than he or she realizes. Thank you from us all.
Secret Santa I am shedding more tears of happiness for this remarkable outstanding woman who is so deserving of this wonderful gift. She can certainly put it to very good use. She was badly in need of a car. I could almost feel her relief knowing she would have a reliable car that she could depend on. She has a huge responsibility being a single mother. Secret Santa helpers you have lifted a burden of her shoulders she now has a car she can depend on thanks to you. I love you your helpers, thank you your guardian angels. Sending loving warm hugs your way, you make me feel joy, happiness thank you for caring, sharing, your exceptional people. You are loved blessed with a loving caring heart.
What a sweet lady. This makes me so happy. She so deserves this. Thank you secret santa, Nate, and helpers for this awesome kindness.
I really enjoyed this one. It’s a community of love and her family loves and appreciates her and they were all rallying around her.
This was so heartwarming! I am so happy for her and her family. It’s sounds like Secret Santa came in the knick of time! ❤
I am so happy that this family is getting some help in the way of money and a car that they really need. Thanks, Secret Santa, for your generosity!
Lets all give an applause for these secret Santa donors. They are helping real people in need...
I Don’t Cry too often but these Secret Santa Videos are Over the Top, Great. Thanks to the Very Generous Donor for your Extreme Kindness. GOD Bless!👍🙏

Don't think I'm going to make it to Xmas, I'm all cried out already. What an amazing surprise for this beautiful woman and her family! Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and crew for your generosity and love.
When i grow up, i'll become a secret santa.
I can't imagine the joy that filled that house after you guys left. Thank you nate and secret Santa. I couldn't ask for more than this for Christmas
Secret Santa really hit the jackpot with this family. So humble and sweet. The daughter is her mother's biggest fan and the parents are great, too. 🎅
