    Here she was home sick, but she showed up at school because she thought she was needed. That says it all. What a spunky, deserving lady. The challenges and grief continued, but she still has a smile on her face.

    I am not even sure how I came across these Secret Santa videos...I don't live in Idaho. I LOVE them so much! I have been binge watching them with my kids. Secret Santa is an angel on earth for the kindness he is spreading. It has inspired me and my family to do what we can to be a blessing in other's lives. We ALL need to see the good that is being shared. It reminds me there are more good people than bad in this world. I hope Secret Santa (and Nate) live forever and keep sharing these stories!! 💜

      Are you kidding? I live in Sweden and have no idea why UA-cam sent these videos to me. But now they are some of my favorites. It's so nice and moving to see struggling people get some help.

      Same here too, I live in the uk 🇬🇧 I absolutely love these videos, I want to win the lottery in my country and become a secret Santa too! I’d love to see the joy being bought to others who truly need it, there was a secret Santa in Kansas City too but sadly he passed away, BUT he left instructions to a good friend who is carrying it on even after his death, that’s love and compassion isn’t it, it shows that there’s more good than bad in this world, it makes my heart full of joy xxxx god bless to u all and merry Christmas too 🎄 xxxx Kate 🇬🇧 xxxx

    Nate Eaton (et al): Thank you for the follow ups and the wonderful feel-good spirit that comes from accentuating the positives in a world that is not so keen on good news. These updates are reminiscent of Paul Harvey and his radio blogs and the positive energy that he created for so many years. Now we know, the rest of the story. :)

I don’t have to meet you in person to see that, it’s obvious to anyone watching these videos. The joy that you show in doing these videos is heartwarming. God bless you for being a positive messenger of hope. To Secret Santa(s), thank you for sharing your blessings with the people who really need help and hope. God bless you also. Big fan of East Idaho News, Nate and Secret Santa way up here in Willow River, British Columbia, Canada.

    This woman had a fantastic reaction 😂 you could see the weight life off her shoulders. Such a life changing thing getting a car can be. I’ve been on both sides as an adult. Nate is spot on when he says “people don’t know how hard it can be without a reliable car”. That’s so true. Having a car really makes life so much easier. Yes, it costs extra money but so does buses, Ubers, sometimes paying people to give you rides. Relying on other people at all hours to do life activities isn’t ideal. So happy for her !!

    I need a secret Santa in my life right now but I’m from Wisconsin. My sister Alyssa Chapek was involved in a rollover car accident and passed away... she was only 24. Times are though and funerals are expensive. I just want to make her proud and have a good funeral for her and be able to provide for her 2 sons who are 6 and 3 years old. We have a go fund me set up, if you are able to donate please reply to this and I can figure out how to get a hold of you to give you the link. Thank you and god bless you.
