    What a sweetheart! The owners sound pretty special too! You can't get better PR than that last sentence she spoke.

    Oh my heart! God bless them all! I just want to hug Eric, Angie, the Manager, and everyone involved. Praying and believing you will walk again my friend in Jesus name! Hallelujah! Thank you LORD! You are so loved!

    Congratulations Eric and I believe we’re going to see something here on UA-cam in a year that you are walking. Excited for that to happen. Thank you Angie and Gold’s Gym for helping this gentleman reach his rehab goals!!

    It’s the little things folks. This woman paid his gym membership and that alone was life changing for this man. Absolutely amazing.

    I wonder if Eric is living alone. If yes, what a superhuman. Keep going Eric and Angie, you’ll definitely be blessed more because of your kindness.

    OMG! This is so moving. Typical East Idaho News. Please someone put his name in to Secret Santa. Eric is so inspiring. His determination is incredible. And Angie, her kindness is something else. And the owner of the gym - you rock for getting the weighted vest for Eric and giving him the membership. And Nate of course, you really know how to reach people. And of course Ashley Home Furniture for Feel Good Friday - the reason behind finding all these good people.

      I agree, he needs to be on the Secret Santa list. Maybe they can see about helping him get to the Institute of Neurological Recovery in Florida. There are lots of videos on youtube of stroke patients getting immediate relief from stroke symptoms with their injections. He's such a deserving man.

    Oh Eric, it doesn’t matter if you cry - you are still a man. Your emotions are valid and it doesn’t make you any less of a deserving and worthy human being ♥️ You sir, are the definition of a STRONG man.

    I too hope you’re back in a couple of months for Secret Santa, this man deserves it. My eyes are full of tears, as an able bodied 28 year old with a gym membership I never use, this just guts me to realize how much I’m taking for granted every day

  • @suzypos4571

    While I'd never live in Idaho, way too much snow for me, East Idaho clearly cares about their citizens.
    I've watched Secret Santa and FGF for a long time.
    Very caring.
    Great gal at the Golds Gym.
    And I really hope Secret Santa saw this episode and gifts this fella whatever he needs.

  • @loveforeignaccents
    @loveforeignaccents 2 роки тому +72

    Aww, I loved his big old smile and thumbs up and saying "awesome, she deserves it" when they told him they were going to surprise Angie with a gift card. This truly is a Feel Good Friday, surprising both of these deserving people!!! Thanks for sharing & I wish them both blessings with all of their future endeavors!
    EDIT: You could tell Angie is just lovely, and the manager is even a gem, too, buying him the weighted vest. And Gold's Gym as well for not taking anyone's money and still letting this man work out. He is dedicated, and I am sure, with all of his hard work, he will be able to walk again. And I hope to see a followup on that when he does.
    Have a great weekend and stay safe, everybody!

  • @mavicityrelayson2924
    @mavicityrelayson2924 2 роки тому +7

    If he's kept talking all these years, I think one day he'll be able to walk. It may not be a marathon run, but he'll stand and walk and hug his family.

  • @richardhargrave6082
    @richardhargrave6082 2 роки тому +37

    They both deserve it, Eric for his determination and Angie for being a nice person.
    I started watching Secret Santa, now I watch every FGF, we have nothing like this in the UK!
    Well done
