A local Secret Santa is giving $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season and the East Idaho News elves are helping out.
Every day, from now until the end of the year, we’ll be posting a Secret Santa surprise and today we’re visiting a special lady named Rebecca.
In 2014, she was diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer that spread into her uterus. Shortly after that, she was diagnosed with lupus.
In 2020 the doctors found a 12.9 mm kidney stone and performed a lithotripsy that failed. In 2021, that failed procedure resulted in emergency surgery. After the operation, she went into septic shock and ended up having a septic stroke.
After being released from the hospital, she was her strong, stubborn self and was back to work. But at the end of 2022, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The beginning of 2023 she had a total mastectomy. With that procedure many complications happened and she needed additional procedures.
In June of this year, Rebecca was in a severe car crash on the way to Utah to see Blink-182 that totaled her car. It was not her fauly and she ended up needing a 90% reconstruction surgery on her shoulder. She still rode all the way to Utah and was determined to see Blink-182 for her daughter.
Through it all, Rebecca still manages to work hard, laugh, enjoy her family and friends and be the absolutely amazing person she is. Rebecca touches everyone's heart.
Secret Santa asked us to go visit Rebecca and bring her an early Christmas gift. Check out the surprise in the video player above!

How someone can survive all this, is completely beyond me. How strong she is!
Jesus
Not our strength, God strength
You can tell she REALLY needed this. Life has put her through so much.
Some of us unfortunately have no choice. It is what it is. But for her to get back on her feet like that is an inspiration
And still have a smile on her face, not to mention still getting her daughter to the concert.
That poor lady has been knocked down and thrown everywhere the past couple years and still fought her way back up. Whoever you are Secret Santa you are an amazing person for helping so many who've gone through so much.
So well said. Secret Santa is so thoughtful and generous.
Thank you Secret Santa for caring to help the less fortunate who are going through such difficult times in their lives! God Bless you for being so kind and generous! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
If anyone is deserving of this it's this lady. The epitome of female strength. Greetings from the UK x
I agree❤
I agree too !!! Greetings from The Netherlands
She’s the epitome of human strength. Please don’t gender-fy her incredible strength. She is tough and strong - as a human.
@@macsloan58thank you! I’m a woman and always wonder what being a “strong woman” means? Is it when I birthed my kids? Because I lift at the gym? Because I’ve done really intense schooling? Because I’ve made it through depression? All that to say I still knew I needed Christ and others more than other so now does that make me weak? Such a weird term.
@@macsloan58Beautifully said. 💜
I pray her health issues improve and that the joy that she felt on this very day is the beginning of continued blessings. This poor woman has been through enough.
Amen! I agree with you.
My God, this poor woman can't catch a break. Thank you Secret Santa, for blessing Rebecca, and her family.
도람뿌가 비밀산타?
Cuz she probably makes poor choices with food and vaccines?
From the Netherlands here. Every year when I see these videos pop up on my yt feed I get reminded by how one anonymus person gave a snickers bar to this secret santa a long time ago, and touched his heart so much, that when he became super succesful he wanted nothing more than do the same for his whole cummunity. Just one snicker bars did this. So if you're not as wealthy as Secret Santa, you can still cause something beautiful like this to happen. I love it.
Oh wow that’s some background story I’ve never heard about!
Thank You for sharing. I didn't know this. Merry Christmas. 🎄❤️🎄
I was teary eyed just watching this episode and your comment had those tears flowing. I agree with you...EACH of us can still cause something beautiful like this to happen...even if it's just giving a snicker's bar to someone that looks like they could use one to cheer them up that day.
😮 I didn't know that! That's crazy
@@Daedalus1010 I'm not sure why I remember it to be a snicker's bar, but it was just a small gift. Look for EIN's video titled "FAQ about Secret Santa (and this year he's giving away A LOT more than $500,000!)" around the 4:15 minute mark.
Every year, for about four years, I have watched these videos because they remind me that there are still wonderful, caring people in the world. This year, in particular, I don't just watch the Secret Santa videos, I NEED the Secret Santa vidoes. They are a reflection of the heart of God.
Thank you, Secret Santa!
OMG what a sweet woman! Her cute way she said 'ok'! I hope she heals completely! Thank you secret Santa and everyone who helped!
I noticed the exact same thing! That was so adorable. 💜
Nate Eaton - the guy with the BEST job in the world!
Such a sweet overwhelmed lady. Wish I lived next door so I could bring her supper and comforting words; I pray for the Lord's healing and blessings to touch her!
Wow what a warrior she is! Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and team.
I had to watch this and see what a true warrior looks like. What an incredible strong women to survive what she has gone through. Gives me encouragement to never give up. She was and is definitely deserving of this blessing.
This one has be crying! What a wonderful woman.
This lady deserved so much. Such a strong lady❤Thank you Secret Santa for helping this lady have something positive happen. I pray she heals & enjoys some relief🙏❤️
I love the American people, they’re so humble and appreciative it’s so sweet to watch some of those in need get such generous gifts they so desperately needed. ❤
Exactly one of what me and my husband take way from all these videos..from where we are from, people would ask for more on TV shows which do this.
I look forward to these videos each year, thank you Secret Santa. We all love you very much.
She sure needed a break! My gosh, she's been through so many serious struggles!! What a sweetheart. 💜
What a heartwarming reaction of the recipriant
What an amazingly strong woman. Omg. Bless her.
That poor woman has been through it all. God bless her 🙏
David the Elf has an amazing and effervescent smile. What a kind and happy man!
Rebecca’s signage, HAPPY NOT DEAD YET, shows her character in the face of struggles and challenges. She has wit and strength! What an amazing woman, and so deserving.
Happy not dead yet day. That speaks volumes.
I would ask the Lord to give this woman strength, but He already has. Instead I will ask Him to give her many blessings.🙏🙏
I’m in Texas and I have been watching these that past few years. It fills my heart with joy and hope when I see these. It shows the people watching that we are not the only ones going through something in life. Don’t give up. Keep moving forward.
Bless this beautiful lady! Thank you secret Santa you are amazing! ❤
A very deserving lady. I hope her health improves soon. Thank you, Secret Santa. ❤
I Pray to the Lord this woman is healed and gets peace in her life of suffering, Maybe if we all send up words above She will receive a miracle of Health and Happiness. God Bless
These videos are so real! No gimmicks, no audience, just authentic human compassion live and real! Omg! ❤
Nate, you are so fortunate to be in a position to bless people the way that you do. When I grow up, I want your job when you retire.
Who ever this secret Santa is, God Bless You!
OMG HERE WE GO!! The tears are starting already 😂😂I’m 64 and crying for this sweet lady…Secret Santa 🎅 you have done it again BLESS YOU!!!

If you want to see what a superhero is, look no further than this remarkable lady ❤. This wonderful ladies' strength in all of the adversities of health is beyond comprehension ❤.
Does anyone ever have a terrible day? And this series pop up- just the most calming thing on UA-cam. I love you guys. Thank you for making this content and making this crappy day a little better.
Love from Nebraska
We can all be secret Sanchez in our own way. You may not have the resources that the anonymous secret santa has, but simple acts of kindness throughout the year can make a big difference in another person's life. Even pulling over to assist another driver change a flat tire can have a huge impact on a person.
I love Secret Santa and Nate and Team who deliver these beautiful gifts it’s gives me lots of hope and reminds me there is still more good in this world than bad ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I love it when they get excited over the $1,000 check. They have no idea........
this lady has been through enough. God bless her and thank you Secret Santa and Nate.
David has a very lovely smile
The recipients of these gifts are all so strong and brave and well deserving of gifts and love.
Gotta give it to y'all, you guys are great examples of the "Christmas Spirit"!!! Truly doing GOD'S WORK!!!
All “gods” are man made social constructs. Their good work has nothing to do with an imaginary sky daddy.
What a deserving person. I can't imagine having all those medical issues, and still working and keeping a good attitude. A great present for her.
Wow. I don't think i could survive all that. A very strong woman and guarduan angels.
A dear sweet lady.
Wow she’s been through so much. Bless her
Oh my Lord, secret Santa you did it again thank you God bless you
Oh my gosh, I can’t even imagine all she has gone through! This woman is more than deserving of this gift! Healing energy, lots of love and big hugs to her and her family! Thank you East Idaho News and Secret Santa!
The miracle of Santa brings hope and joy. It amazed me that after everything she is going through that she can work. WOW!
gosh you would never know by looking at her and talking to her that she has been and is still going through it. I wanted to cry just when he was telling us all the things that has happened to her. Bless her heart! Secret Santa you are so amazing! And so is God!
I've been watching Secret Santa for, like 8 years now, and I have made an observation: American people's health is suffering more severely, with each passing year. Is the culprit the air, is it the water supply, is it the soil, is it the food? Are they exposed to experimental treatments? East Idaho is a relatively small piece of land, and each year, behind the doors that Nate and his crew knock on, more unbelievable health stories come up. It breaks my heart. But then, the Secret Santa helps them in other ways and it brings tears of joy... Love from Istanbul, Türkiye ❤❤❤
Chemicals are in just about every food item produced in the US. Even vegetables and fruit are full of them. When there I had difficulty finding clean food. Use of chemicals in food items is tightly controlled here in Europe. I can easily buy guaranteed chemical free food everywhere. The same is certainly not true for you. You need to start questioning why it is happening there.
@@LisaFerguson-lw8ilcapitalism... the government allows certain amounts of chemicals and pollutants in the air, food, water, clothing, toys, etc.... more profitable for companies and creates health issues which fund the medical corporations.... the circle of life the American way..
It's the air, the water, the soil, the food, and everything else we are exposed to..
...and you base that on watching Secret Santa?...you need to get out more.
@@porthmeor1 maybe you need to pay more attention....
She is one determined lady. She's been thru so much and still goes to work. Well done Secret Santa. You are awesome. You both are. Someone needs to make a bow for the cars. Just one. Use it over and over.
God Bless this woman. I'll pray for her ♥
Secret Santa chooses perfect gifts for wonderful, deserving people like this awesome woman who has had so many trials.🎅💝 He brings miracles to their lives and uplifts us, too--it gives me happy tears to see these stories. Thanks Secret Santa and East Idaho News! I am glad I ordered some Secret Santa T-shirts to remind me to be kind and find a way to help others even if I don't have much money! 🥰
Oh my gosh. Such a deserving woman . Thank you secret Santa and most of all to God whom I know is behind this wonderful santa for his unselfishness.
when you are visited by Secret Santa's elves you are being blessed ❤
Bless you Secret Santa! I love watching these every year. Hope you never stop! I hope one day, I can be a Secret Santa! Prayers for her and her family!
What a sweetheart, life can be tough.
Just fabulous. Great generosity yet again from Secret Santa.
Hope complete healing comes her way. ❤❤ Sweet sweet soul.
This lady needs Secret Santa and all our prayers to help her move forward.
What a sweet lady. Thanks Secret Santa.
One less thing for this lovely lady to worry about. Hope 2025 is a better year health wise for her. Thank you Secret Santa,Nate & Team. 🐥🎅♥️🏴
What a sweet beautiful lady, so happy for her!!
Secret Santa and all others precious people behind the scenes Love from Bharat (India) for kindness and generosity ♥
Santa, you know stress relief is priceless.
The million you are gifting this year is really priceless.
This gal has been thru the wringer.
Nate, EIN,, Santa, thank you.
If I was fortunate enough to have more money than I could spend, this is what I’d do too! Changing lives, one at a time, not for the fame, but for the giving. Long live Secret Santa🧑🏻🎄🎄🤶🏻
Never forget our time is our most valuable asset. These gifts are incredible blessings. But volunteering some time to those in our local communities makes a huge difference too.
This was touching all the medical and car situations are so sad. God bless her and her family. Thank you Secret Santa you helped a beautiful woman thank you Nate you and your team are so amazing and kind
She has had one of the most trying years and this made me tear up. She is touched!
With all of the news for people who have so much, it is so heartwarming and down to earth to learn of these Secret Santa gifts for people in need. Such goodness is such a blessing.
I almost cried when I heard what she's been going through. Everyone of those illnesses and incidents would sweep an average person off their feet. But she persevered. What a strong lady! She deserves that car and more.
This is a very strong woman. God bless her. Thank you Secret Santa for your good works.
Omg this poor women!! She is strong I hope I meet someone like her some day.
Amazing! God bless Secret Santa!
Sometimes I think you only test how much happiness a person can handle without stopping her/his heart. :)
Thanks for these minutes, they give back hope, optimism and joy. Regards and handshake from Hungary.
I pray for her health and strength..such an inspiration ❤
After so much bad luck, she’s got some good luck. I hope she’s turned a corner and life can now get better. ❤
Wow what a strong woman. God bless her 🙏
Oh my. I will keep her in my prayers. She so deserves this. ❤
“underSTAND, EVERY time humanity emotionally tears and utters, “I don’t know what to say,” … THEIR HEART ALWAYS SPEAKS VOLUMES without 1 word.”
Much respect to secret Santa and Nate and he’s elves for the care and compassion they have. 🇨🇦❤️
Nate, that special Santa sure makes all our lives better at Christmas. What an angel. Thank you, Secret Santa, from UA-cam watchers!
Thank you so much, dear Secret Santa!!! For spreading Joy and Hope and to show, that there a still people in the World who care for others!!!!
Thank you for the caring Team of "Elves" who are doing an amazing job of giving those gifts away. All the best to those beautiful and deserving people, who are getting these gifts. It is the combination of all three, that makes this Show so heartwarming. Even when I feel completly alone, it shows me, that I am not.
