    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.
    Glenda is one of the most hardworking, genuine people you'll ever meet. She's had a tough life but has found a way to happily live through it.
    She left her family in El Salvador years ago and moved to the United States by herself. She married, had two children and always worked two jobs to support her family.
    Glenda has been raising her children by herself for the past four years. She opened her own business called Las Pupusas in Idaho Falls but had to shut it down due to construction in the area and COVID. She took a job at McDonald's and works every day from 5 a.m. - 1 p.m. She makes sure her kids are taken care of and never complains about life.
    Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to visit Glenda while she was working at McDonald's. Check out the video above to see the surprise!

      @@Doormanswift I wonder (Truthfully) why one would think that this is any church or religion? Let alone any "Group". Nate has said for at least 4 years that this is one person, and refers only to Secret Santa as a "He". Each year it has steadily rose in amount to this years 1 million as last year was $500K. I am not sure if I have stories messed up, but I seem to recall that this "man" started with nothing himself and was given a small token on Christmas by another and has never forgotten. This Secret Santa has become very wealthy over the years and thus the kindness gesture over the years, I really don't see the need for anyone to put any religious cast on what "he" does, as none is ever implied by Nate or his team. I do understand that this is Christmas time and is generally Christian based, But Santa Claus is not normally associated with that faith's celebration.

We all can not afford to give away cars, or pay for someone's rent for an entire year, but we sure as heck can do small things for others that would make life a little easier.

      @wheezly bee And what really impresses me is that this individual, whoever they are, wants to see goodness while he/she is alive. You can only take so much money to the grave with you and what good does it do? You can leave millions to charity and family and friends AFTER you are dead but to be able to watch these and see the impact on these people's lives must be the greatest gift this individual has ever received. I have always said when we get to heaven Heavenly Father will ask us, "What did you do to make the world a better place for the years I gave you life there on earth?" And saying "Well, I made a lot of money" won't matter much to Him. The individual who did this will be able to stand tall.

    Glenda's reaction makes you want to give her a hug. People who are not used to strangers going out of their way to help them, may be very suspect of charity at first. Like, what's the catch? Its lovely how Nate just accommodates himself to every reaction and reassures the recipient that these gifts are well and truly for them. Glenda has probably not had much charity in her life from strangers, hence being a little reticent at first. I wish everyone in this world could feel love and receive a little gift during the holidays, no matter how small, just to know someone else cares. Wishing Glenda and her children a Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year! :)

    Nate, of course none of us know who secret Santa is but I would like him to know something. Please tell him how much his kindness and love means. It goes far beyond just the immediate recipients. I know each one is thankful for his gifts, each and every one. I was given 20$ from someone while I was shopping at Walmart. She just walked up to me and handed me 20$ and said “I want you to have this, Merry Christmas “. I felt so special and loved, every time I thought of that interaction. Now mind you, I was able to pay for the things in my cart, but just the thought that someone was that kind, why, it wrecked me for days. I couldn’t stop thinking about her or the love she showed. I have been able to pass that love on all this past year. I believe that is what the Father’s love is all about. May God richly and abundantly bless secret Santa And all his elves at East Idaho News, from Michigan. I loved the video you did with your kids and the giving of some of their toys. What an important lesson and example you provide. Merry Christmas.

      I rarely share this story, but several years ago, I was in a nail salon getting serviced... It was prom time and two girls came in... One sat down to get her nails done and the other sat in the waiting area... Soon, the girl who was in the waiting area was on the phone with a parent, I assume... She was telling her how much money she needed to get her hair done... It was maybe $30... She hung up and just seemed down, because the answer was 'no'... Not judging her mother because she likely just didn't have it, but I felt so bad watching her sit there, no nails done and now no hairstyle... Luckily, I had cash on me (I rarely carry cash) and I gathered $40 from my purse... When my service was complete and I was exiting, I handed her the money and said, "That's for your hair..." - She was shocked and replied, in a soft tone, "Thank you." - I was discreet and exited immediately as kids/teens should not take money from strangers 😄 - However, that moment still brings me joy... I hope if nothing else, for her, it's a good memory from that time. She likely has graduated college and could even have kids of her own now, but everyone deserves to feel special. I remember when I was 7 years old and fell at a park... A little old lady came up to me and dabbed my knee with a tissue... I never forgot her because she cared when she didn't have to ❤
