OH STOP IT!!! I'm crying in the office you guys, its not looking good. if also lost my both parents to covid-19 about 8 months ago each a week apart here in South Africa. my dad didn't know my mother past away before him and one week later on the same day he also past away. we say he in a way knew she past away and he could be without here so he let go and gone with here up to heaven. I'm doing well and i just take it one day at a time. celebrated both there birthdays without them and mine as well and now for the first time I'm celebrating Christmas with out them for the first time. and it warms my hart when the team at East Idaho News does good things this time of year, help other that needs it most.
I have found some clues who they are the last few years. Then I stopped investigating as I knew they really don’t want the attention. As much as I want to shake his hand 🥰🥰🥰
every time Secret Santa pays for a headstone, my heart breaks for the families that need it, but i love that the worry of getting the headstone is lifted from them. Secret Santa gives me hope.
The heartache for those three teenagers, and the sorrow for the husband is heavy. May they always cherish that lovely wife and mother. Thank you to Secret Santa.
Indeed so. I don’t know about you, but I get a certain sense of the Scandinavian heritage in many of these Idahoans who are featured on this channel. There’s something about their personality and mentality that seems familiar. It’s interesting 😊 Hilsen fra Danmark.
@@twisterwiper? About settlement in the USA, I do not know where Swedes and Danes settled, but I think many of they did the same as Norwegians who emigrated to the states. They settled mainly in the Midwest where there were opportunities for agriculture. But I also know that there are many Norwegian-Americans who loves in Seattle. Idaho is located between the Midwest and Seattle. Thereby, there are probably many Scandinavians there as well. There is probably someone from Idaho who reads this and can confirm this. Among the Norwegians who emigrated, there were many poor people who were humble and grateful. For such people, it is natural to help others who are in need, as one has compassion in the need of others.
Yes, that's what I like to see is the hug at the end! Thank you, Secret Santa. And may God bless this man and his teenage kids and help them through their tough times without a wife and a mom.
Well that broke my heart open, poor guy. I can’t even think about losing my wife… I hope if she goes before me that I follow her immediately after, she’s why I live, I wanna go where she is even if it’s the great beyond.
I watch these videos every year, I'm in Ireland, they never fail to make me cry. God bless all the anonymous donors, they ease so many burdens, It's truly beautiful 💞
I live nowhere near Idaho but I find myself watching your channel and am so moved by the kindness of Secret Santa. Thank you to whomever you are for blessing these deserving people.
Nate, I know you are just the "messenger" of sorts, but you also make this what it is.. Your kind gentle nature, your heart, just everything about you makes this that much sweeter! Thanks for all you do!
Oh my goodness, I have just spent most of the day feeling miserable and downbeat then I watched this ! Suddenly my life is good after watching what this chap and his children have gone through, we all need a wake up call! I know I did!
Sending sincere condolences to Kent & his children, beautiful photo of his wife. Wishing Kent well in his recovery. Thank you to Nate & his team and Secret Santa ❤️🇬🇧
What a selfless and humble man. You can tell how much he’s hurting from the loss of his beloved wife, but at the end, I saw a small glimmer of hope in his eyes. I hope him and his children continue to be surrounded by unconditional love and good fortune.
You may not could tell but that meant an enormous amount to him. Having financial help Taking care of those children who just lost their mother, he’s had to be tough and tearless. A real man right here!❤️ Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
In case the secret Santa sees this I just want to say thank you even though I don't know you even though we will probably never meet the random acts of kindness that you do is touching people not just in Idaho but in other states as well I hope everybody has a great holiday season and know that they are loved
This is just beautiful. I'm crying so hard right now. I watched friends of mine daughters 8 & 4yrs old, while they went on an anniversary getaway in September. They come home from a fantastic time, and her father who lived with them was coughing, it ended up being COVID. Both of them caught it, she recovered but at the same time, both husband and father ended up in ICU. Father passed away last week, and add the service was beginning to start, this past Tuesday, they got a call saying that they needed to put husband on a ventilator. 😥 If you would, please say prayers for this family. ❤️ The wife is having a hard time keeping it together. Thank you so much ❤️
The gifts are incredibly kind, however it's hard not to feel his hurt. Last year he bought his wife a Christmas gift, this year his gift will be her headstone. Sending so much love to this family ❤️
These people are my neighbors, and I am best friends with the kids he mentioned. I attended his wife's funeral, and I miss her still. I hav e to say that no one is more deserving of these gifts than this family here. This will not bring her back, but I hope it makes this easier for my friends. I don't know who thought of this family, but I want to say thank you with all my feeling for thinking of them. They are the best people, and they needed this.
I have to watch these alone, i don't cry but i always try and hold back a tear. The secret Santa is an amazing person, it makes you realise how a lot of normal happy looking people have had it really hard in life.
My heart is grieving for this family. Thank you Secret Santa for stepping up to help them in this so sad time of their lives. The loss of not only a wife , but a Mom at such a young age has got to be just devastating…sounds like they have a church to also help support them.
When he looked in the camera and said thank you, I lost it. You could see the pain and gratitude in his eyes 😞 praying for comfort and healing for this man and his family.
I can't imagine not being able to visit a loved one in the hosptial. I know that is a reality for so many in these last two years and it is so heartbreaking.
I watch these every chance i get. Secret Santa has to have the biggest heart ever. My hope is millionaires in rach large city would catch on and help those less fortunate. Much love from KY
Boy Secret Santa is making the water works start earlier and earlier each year. A very touching gift thank you secret Santa for showing what the real meaning of the Christmas spirit is🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️🎄🧑🏼🎄 and to Nate and all his team.
As a Boise resident, I watch these every day this time of year. It makes my aching heart soar when kindness is given without hidden agendas for those who are in need. Thank you for doing this.
imagine the 13 people that don't like this video. how miserable they must be. these interactions give me faith in humanity. I have watched them all. open your hearts people and stop being negative & god bless this family
I love these videos, testaments of God’s love for us,hope in action.They are such a wonderful thing to watch after the troubles ,divisions and pain that make up the nightly news.
Heartwarming help for the left behind. Wonder why no mention of the Covid pandemic was even mentioned , however. Paying for a headstone will have so much meaning for them. A big gift.
How Beautiful. Secret Santa you are one very very SPECIAL person. Nate is increbible in every way. He never falters with any thing he say or does , he is always PERFECT. He roo is a most special human being. I cry a lot watching these programmes, its unavoidable. Thank you for the joy you all give to so many people. Australia
I am in tears-I was in the hospital in Sept on a ventilator. I’m heartbroken for this poor family. Thank you Secret Santa and East Idaho News. I know this means the world to them all. Hugs and Prayers to all of you! ❤️❤️❤️
Whomever this secret Santa is, he/she is a God send. This is what our country is really like. This is what it is about. All that other noise trying to divide us and tear us apart should be muted. This, this is what matters. Bringing others hope, love, and kindness. Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories.
He totally wanted to cry so, I cried for him 😥 Dang Nate, I always have to keep tissues near while watching these ! Secret Santa, you have a Heart and soul of Gold.
It's moments like these that make us feel really stupid for most woes we deal with. Nate, the Idaho news, and Secret Santa are just awesome. Well done, as usual. Keep up the great work. Idaho is lucky to have a great Santa. Merry Christmas Santa, whoever you are.
There's a special place in heaven for Secret Santa.
The look on his face said everything. Thank-you Secret Santa for letting us be a part of your generosity.
Yes you're so right, his eyes just conveyed his story so much,
This comment is spot on. I want the world to see these beautiful acts of selflessness and generosity!
Well said. I’d like to add what a beautiful face & eyes Kent has xoxx

Praying for a speedy, full recovery!
2 people on ventilator? One died?
Was that with all the vaxes? That is a very rare experience with all the vaxes!
🙏🙏🙏
This is so touching to me. I lost my father to melanoma in September. He had beat colon cancer over ten years ago.
Be blessed from the LORD in your life and business, Secret Santa!
Love from Switzerland 🙌👑🇨🇭
The gifts are incredibly kind, however it's hard not to feel his hurt. Last year he bought his wife a Christmas gift, this year his gift will be her headstone. Sending so much love to this family ❤️
God Bless this man
Aw, my word. I just want to give him a giant hug. Thank you SS for this one. You did good!!
Thank you Secret Santa!!
