  • A Secret Santa is back and this Christmas is bigger than ever!
    The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local man gift more than $500,000 this holiday season. A lot more. Secret Santa is a real person who wants to remain anonymous and hopes to help as many individuals in our community as he can.
    Misty and Ben Ashley have 12 kids between the ages of 17 and one. Many are adopted or in the process of being adopted due to special circumstances.
    Both parents work extremely hard. Ben wakes up around 4 a.m. and doesn't get home until after 10 p.m. some nights. Misty works in the evenings and gets home around 1 a.m. They never complain and always have a smile on their faces.
    The Ashleys got a 15 passenger van from the junkyard a few years ago but it's broken and has been sitting in their driveway for months. They aren't able to travel anywhere together and need new furniture so everyone has a place to sleep.
    Secret Santa heard about their circumstances and asked the East Idaho News elves to surprise them. Watch the video above to see what happened!

      ​@@ZekeMagnum Well, aren't you the shining light of love and compassion! I think, to any orphaned child, a loving home with food on the table but worn out chairs is far, FAR better than remaining in the system. And life is a struggle, for anything worth having or doing. If yours isn't, then it is far more likely you are the waste of time, not those fighting to do what is right.

      A lot of men don’t cry because we have been socialized through over many many generations to send ourselves and our sons off to war, and to make other sacrifices as well. In a lot of cases women will choose men who are more stoic than those who express their emotions. I believe that is changing though :)

      Having a vehicle to be able to haul around the whole family is such an important part of a family, people don't understand it usually because many have maybe 2-3 children so most vehicles can handle that pretty well...but when you have a large family being able to transport them all for any reason is such a huge deal, and not easily accomplished without a very large vehicle to do so. That's such a huge relief for sure seeing them get a new van and everyone piling in LOL. The only thing I didn't care for with the Passenger vans is the seats don't fold down like a mini-van so in order to use it to haul cargo the seats have to be removed, but those vans are so versatile and for this family the best thing they could get and have for years go come.

    The way their children respond to their parents crying (before they realize what’s happening), speaks volumes about this family (both, the children and parents). So much love and care. 🥹🥰

    Seeing a real man cry because his family is cared for and safe brings me to tears every time. This is such a wonderful video. Secret Santa and nate, you've outdone yourselves with this one! God bless you and Merry Christmas! What a beautiful and caring family.

    That has to be one of the sweetest most touching surprises ever. Especially with the response of the husband. His tears of gratitude said everything. What a special family. Thank you to who ever donated the vehicle. And especially for paying for the fees and taxes. So many people are gifted big items, but they're not able to keep them because of the taxes and fees. And the to give them the money to even register it, unbelievable. No doubt with this many children, beds, or couches will be greatly appreciated too. The Lord is great! And so are the angels he put in their lives!❤️ 🙏❤️
