The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy this holiday season helping a local man gift $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho. Secret Santa is a real person who wants to remain anonymous and hopes to bless as many individuals in our community as he can.
Jeff is just an amazing person who is kind to everyone. He never complains about hard situations and is always more concerned about how you are doing than himself.
He is 63 years old and works hard to provide for his wife and son. When COVID-19 started, friends and family members were worried about Jeff because he has a history of health issues. But his wife, Tina, ended up contracting the virus and spent seven months on a ventilator fighting for her life.
Jeff drove to Utah on his two days off every week to be with her and he will never forget the day she was released to come home. The doctors said they never thought that she was going to make it.
Tina is on many medications and oxygen and continues to fight for her health. Jeff drives a car that is not reliable and the heater does not work. He never complains and if you ask him how he is doing, his response is, "All the better for seeing you!"
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News team to go surprise Jeff and Tina with an early Christmas gift. Check out the video above! - Розваги
My morning routine: Wake up, get some coffee, start up computer, watch a new secret santa video, cry for 5 mins, feel good, and start work! Bless this secret santa! Changing so many lives!
Hahaha me toooo! But a little different, like i wake up, check the phone for messages from family and friends, then open UA-cam and watch secret santa, go downstairs and make coffee. Lol. Secret Santa is priority. 😂
I do exactly the same in the UK !! although sometimes I cry for 10 minutes x
The same
It is my first view in the morning!
It might be a little soon but I'm afraid what i should do when these are finished , I have to wait 1 more year :(
7 months in the hospital, you know the financial stress is immensely heavy. And yet, he never mentioned it once. He just bragged about her. That's what it looks like when people take their marital vows seriously. 💪❤️
Yep. Love, respect, and commitment.

Shame on the greatest country in the world for having such a inhuman healthcare system.
@@lawtraf8008 Try Living in the UK.
AMEN!!!
A miracle that she got off the ventilator and lived. God bless her and her husband.
Wow, the fact a man is counting the days his love has been home is a pure show of love.
GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
❤❤🎉😊😊😢😢YES!!!A awwwwesome gift they Know Who Love Is!!!!!!God and HIS Son JESUS😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
The way he speaks to his wife with so much respect and love...they deserve everything in life.
❤❤❤
Good example for all of US. True love, never dies 😀❤️😀😀👍👍👍
What a loving couple . The care & respect shows thru
They are amazing! 😍
I lost my wife unexpectedly in October 2020 after 46 years married. I know how lucky and blessed this man feels , And not for the car but it helps.
I am so sorry for your loss. It must be hard to live without her after all these years, but thankful you were blessed to have her for 46 years. You will be with her again.😢☺️🙏
My heartfelt condolences 💕 x
Oh, geez, I cannot even begin to say how sad I am to hear about your tragic loss; truly heartbreaking after all that time together. Hopefully your memories of the time you spent together will always make your heart happy!!
Amazing you had 46 years together. That is a blessing. 🙏🏽❤️
I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I am sorry for your loss.
You can see this good man loves his wife immensely . Im happy to see such a deserving couple be blessed .
I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it by a year....👍
My husband has been friends with Jeff and Tina since they were little. They are as loyal in friendship as they are to one another. Two beautiful spirits. Jeff always closes his phone conversations to my husband with "I love you brother." So sweet. Praying the Lord continues to bless them.
So cute to see a couple that still adores each other after so many years together!
My wife is in her 70s. She is more my little doll than ever. A relationship is an investment that pays more compounded interest the longer it is held. Her health is better than mine, so my mail goal is to look after my health the best I can so she is not left alone. We can just sit most of the morning in the front room talking or just enjoying one another's presence. Yeah, I can see how happy he must be to have her back. Nate has the best job in the world.
@@freddyfriesen Sounds like you guys have a blessed relationship, so that's absolutely wonderful and thanks for sharing that precious information! Good luck to the both of you, and especially you with your health cuz I'm sure she would be lost should anything happen to you. BTW, are you really from Chicago? I'm in Oak Park, right outside of Chicago. And, yes, Nate does have the best job but totally deserves it with his hard work and genuine compassion, a true gem!! Glad to have spoken with you tonight. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, sir.
@@freddyfriesen Congratulations on your wonderful life that you both have had so far! You and your wife are very lucky to have each other.
him calling her "baby", It melted my heart :)
@@JMC01644 We worked things out and it has paid off. Looking back, a lot of the things that made the road bumpy seem so trivial now. Focus on the good stuff. Take care.
One of my favorites ! God bless then AND Secret Santa.
"I'm a hugger", says Jeff. Wonderful couple, the security of having a reliable car will be such a relief for them
Jeff is a beautiful soul. He is so humble and gentle. They deserve a reliable vehicle. I’m glad they have been given these blessing 🙏🏻❤️His wife is a darling❗️🧡💛❤️
What a beautifully humble man. Beautiful husband and wife and so deserving. Again, thank you secret Santa. Happy 😢😢😢😢😢😢
The you and. You've day. Hone car day. B and
NOW THAT IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. IM 62 AND IT IS REFRESHING TO SEE THIS. THANK YOU, EAST IDAHO NEWS,
My two favorite comments...."I'm a hugger" and "I don't want to be in trouble, you drive." Awesome. Love it. These two are precious.
What a sweet couple, that was such a blessing to watch. To think the doctors didn't think she would survive, I'm glad her husband didn't listen. They obviously have such a great love for each other. That car was a wonderful gift that will just keep on giving for a long time.
It's so difficult to know what to do. She was a real fighter and you can tell he loves her very much.
A solemn man who you could tell was so very touched by the more-than-generous gesture!
I love how he was absorbing it in, and then blurted out “I’m a hugger!” because he wanted to express the gratitude that had been accumulating inside his heart. Bless them and Secret Santa. How many lives are impacted because you do what you do, and not just these families, but around the world. And you do it in such a dignified way (anonymously). Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️
Well said
That was one of my favourite parts too!! I wanted to shout thru the screen, “I’m a hugger too, come here il hug ya!!” Bless them both, VERY deserving xxxx Kate 🇬🇧 xxxx
This one really choked me up. The husband and wife are really gems. So kind to each other, and positive, despite the travesty they've been through with the medical takedown. Thank you Secret Santa for doing this for them.
Him; "I'm a hugger"
Me; Bawling tears!!
Bless this couple.
I'm not crying, I'm bawling!!! What a miracle this lady is even here. I'm floored. She is a walking talking miracle.
7 blankets to keep warm traveling in a car without heat. Santa you did great with this family!!! God Bless You and this wonderful family. I shall always remember this story!!! Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thankyou! Secret Santa!
You can just tell that Jeff is truly a kind soul. His wife and him are very deserving people! You guys are amazing all the way from Florida! I've been watching for awhile
Yo! I’m watching from Florida too, where ya from?
Secret Santa is a blessing to people like this. I'm crying, yet again.
Yes. And the coolest part is their desire to remain anonymous. It’s all about these deserving families.
Me too!
Now I see why secret Santa’s do what they do. The love these people feel from a gift that is needed.
God Bless this precious couple 🙏❤
It upsets me the Dr's put pressure him to take her off the ventilator. I'm so glad he didn't listen. And then she said it was an answer to prayer. To Secret Santa thank you for your generosity. You are not only helping people directly but indirectly also. Watching these videos makes me cry but with joy at the kindness. 💝💝💝
"I'm a hugger", says all we need to know, Jeff.
Ohh🥺🥺....... god bless secret santa 🙏🙏
"I'm a hugger" what a lovely guy. Wishing him and his wife all the very best for the future xx
That touched me so much, when he said that, such a beautiful couple , wish them all the love in the world
I can't imagine being on a vent that long. Definitely a miracle!
I'm a hugger - oh my gosh - that tells us what's in his heart.
Side note: I was born in Twin Falls so this is so special to me
What a blessing for them!! She is amazing! 7 months in the hospital with Covid and now out for 2 months!! I can tell her husband has been taking great care of her!! Thank you Secret Santa!!
Nate is the most handsome man inside out, I have ever seen. He makes it so comfortable for everyone involved.
Yes. He’s always professional, yet not afraid to express his emotions and love for those in his community. He’s the total package. 🙂
Who ever owns the Dealership that is always giving these cars away - You're Awesome. The Relief in this mans face Says it all.
its not a dealeship that gives the cars away its a person who remains anonymous
@@tmp1111 you realize that’s a part of the secret Santa story right? It’s a charitable foundation through locals who nominate people, the cars are written off and not paid for, all the money is raised by thousands of people. The person being thanked is who ever nominated the recipient of the gifts.
"you get what you see with jeff" and for someone with that kind of introduction to start tearing up its evident how much this means to him and his family
This is a yearly tradition for me, watching east idaho news even tho I'm million miles away.
So very sweet, God bless them all...
When the first thing he basically said was “do you wanna come and meet my wife?” with the biggest smile, so proud and full of love for her. I want that kinda love
This man has a spirit about him... An amazing man and his Wife well deserving... 👊💪
Nate, his crew and secret santa making the world just a little bit better every day.
Not just a little bit! Basically they make it breathable!
The best part of the holidays. 🙏🏽🎄
The meaning of life? This is it
This is such a Great Couple. They so deserve that car. Could not have picked a better family ... till tomorrow. I enjoy so much watching your videos. They are heartwarming.
An answer to their PRAYERS...praysr changes EVERYTHING !!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Happy Thanksgiving and I am so very thankful to Secret Santa 🎅 and East Idaho News for these precious moments they share.
You could immediately tell they were two of the sweetest, genuine, kind people. May her health continue to improve and may they have many happy healthy years together!
He was left hanging for that handshake but got a new car and a hug in the end. Just a rollercoaster of emotions!
Right?
The Secret Santa Claus is obviously a VERY KIND and GENEROUS PERSON !
This is a wonderful "Santa" is doing. Thanks to "him" and thanks to the news station. It's just beautiful!
7 months not being able to see your loved one i have no words for it. Unless you have experienced it yourself you cant understand.
I find it amazing that after so many years they can still find deserving people who don't know about Nate and Secret Santa. God Bless them and the beloved couple in this video. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Joe!
@@loveforeignaccents who are you ?
What guts she has..he was told to turn off the ventilator so she could die and now she's back home..very deserving couple
i 'm crying now... i'm 66 yrs old, married to amazing woman, 10 yrs older then i am.. i'm very lucky.. she had 3 strokes in the last 5 yrs... but the lord keeps us going, . and loving each other.. so i understand this couple.. god bless everyone and the secert santa.. you make my day
God after what they went through and she walks out wearing a sweater that says "Feels good to be home". That touched me in so many ways. We all should count our blessings and be thankful.
I stopped here to cry. Good cry.
This is the most beloved man I’ve seen on East Idaho News!!!❤
7 months of hospitalization cause of covid and ppl still don't care! Amazing! I hope she gets better!
Damn I love small town America. Beautiful beautiful, just a man being the rock his family needs.
Awe! I love it when they're so happy just for the check for insurance and registration! I can only imagine after all of the stress of her hospitalizations, how amazing it must feel to not have to worry about transportation. This just warmed my heart so much! What a humble man! I'm a hugger too! I love how he talks to and about his wife. This really was an answer to their prayers. Secret Santa makes such a huge impact! We can all do something too to lift others. The world is changed by one kind act at a time!
With all their struggles and they still have time to be loving and funny...
I cry at these not only because I'm happy for the deserving people but sometimes I admit I'm just feeling sorry for myself. They might be in a rougher spot in life but look how much they love each other. I brag about being a happy monk living alone but dang it.. sometimes I think of the relationship I had that failed. Knowing how crazy in love I was with this person and it just didn't work out. I guess deep down I know I really hate being alone & seeing these people who can lean on each other in the rough times shows it can be very special. They are so rich in love & I hope she gets better and the presents help them through this rough time. They are so cute together! ❤ Go d bless them.
This is what I like to see, people who are grateful for receiving such great and expensive gift. Some of your previous recipients weren't as happy as these two are, some acted like they got a box of chocolate, not a brand new car. These two deserve that and more.
I always like to think and hope the people who seem very reserved are just introverts and very camera shy but inside they are extremely grateful. 😀👍
@@21hairgirl : That's very likely the truth. Some people freeze and are not great at expressing emotions. But if others have nominated them, then that means they're worthy of that generosity because of their own kindness. That's what I choose to believe. 🥰💕
There's also the shock factor
Sweet fellas...
The generosity is overwhelming and brings tears to my eyes. Life changing things for kind humble people. Nicely done, Santa.
What an adorable couple!
This is the time of the year that East Idaho News really shines! Let the festive season begin!
speechless... well done santa 💜💚💙
So glad his wife made it through. A huge thank you to Nate and the crew.
I can definitely sympathize with her and her husband on the health issues and dragging around an oxygen bottle. I absolutely love seeing Secret Santa bless these folks with the needed necessities to get through every day life.
😍🙌🎁
Blessings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
God bless them 💕
The love he has for her is so pure. God Bless them both. So deserving!
The man loves his wife! The first thing out of his mouth was “would you like to come in and see my wife”, he knew surely no one would come to see him. Sweet man, I hope someone catches me loving my wife like this one day, and if no one ever does I’ve failed!
Wow those people really needed that God is great
So amazing
A year later and it still makes my cry! Thank you Secret Santa for changing regular folks lives for the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish our politicians had a heart like secret santa. Hope they have a long happy life together.
What a sweet couple! I'm so glad Secret Santa did this for them. They sure deserve it!
For some reason the love they have for each other really shines through on this video. Nothing I can specify but it is clearly there.
It is a miracle that woman survived all of that and you can sure tell how grateful they were. I wish ALL husbands and wives had this much love in their marriages.
My father was on life support in 2010. The doctors told me to let him pass. We declined and he woke up 3 days later. He lived another 12 years and passed away last February. Its amazing that our doctors can be such horrible people.
"I'm a hugger" 🥰 awww such a sweet couple.
The wife has one of the most sweetest spirits that I have seen. Her reaction to getting the new car broke something off of me. Just precious!!!!!!
I missed this one last year. Glad it is still posted.
Never listen to doctors who say it is hopeless as she is living proof and doesn't appear to have any brain damage. 41 years ago one of my co-workers had colon cancer and wasted down to 76 pounds until after Christmas a complete reversal. Today he's 83 and takes his great-grandchildren for rides on his boat, just one example.
LOVE it when older couples still call each other those special names such as baby. It's getting hard to find that kind of love anymore.
These are amazing stories , I so wish i could have done this for my husband , He has worked so hard all his life to support this family , Now he has parkinsons ,cancer and two broken bones in his back , yet he gets up every day and go to work , I just dont know how to tell him and show him how much i apprecate what he has done for the family ,
And that’s the reason why god made man and woman seeing the love her husband has for her.
simply amazing
This is a great example of someone with more money than they need actually using it to help people in need
As soon as he said 'Im a hugger' i broke.
I wish all the happiness and all good health to this family
So happy this Lady made it ok. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I started tearing up just a little when he called Nate 'brother'. 😂 I was crying (actually bawling would be more telling) happy tears when she saw the car. What a true blessing! To Secret Santa, Nate, & all the elves involved, you are truly Angels! 😇Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Stay safe everybody! #foreverandeverAmen
Such a generous, Christ-like Secret Santa!! Bless him!!!
Give me a few years I’ll be a secret Santa myself
I’m a owner of 2 small business which are shaping up fairly well pray for me so I can shower this same love too my community one day
I teared up when he said, 'I am a hugger'..
Beautiful couple, best wishes to them 😭
"You've had a rough year, from what I understand."
"I have, brother."
I'm glad they got to visit Jeff!
I really love this couple! So well-deserving! Thank you, Secret Santa 🙏
what a sweet and humble couple. this is one of my favorite episodes this year
Brilliant.
Everytime i watch secret santa i literarily cannot stop crying lol who else is like me lol
