The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.
Martha has been widowed for two decades and worked hard labor jobs in potato warehouses for her career. Despite her personal challenges, she has preserved her spirit of giving. You will find Martha making tortillas or other food for her neighbors, and she is constantly making new friends.
Last year, without any prompting or recognition, Martha knitted many cute owl beanies and donated several large boxes to Primary Children’s Hospital in Utah. She is alone in her home, but will never lose her spirit of friendship, compassion, and giving.
Martha needs several repairs to her home to including a broken toilet that is non-functional. She is on a fixed income and recently had a major repair done on her vehicle after being without transportation for over a month.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Martha a visit and surprise her with an early Christmas gift. Check out the video in the player above!

What a lovely lady. Sometimes its the simpliest of things like helping someone fix their toilet. Thank you Secret Santa xx
I’ve traveled the world a bit but live well in Los Angeles. When it comes down to it, a toilet is a huge deal and high importance to me. I’m so thankful to at times be able to “take for granted”. It’s one thing I would trade most anything for if push came to shove. Btw shout out to all plumbers! I hope to not have to meet you in an emergency situation 😆 but appreciate your profession.
What a sweet lady! And wonderful thoughtful presents! We all know how important working plumbing is especially after experiencing the run on TP in 2020! It's it little things in life we take for granted until they break! Your always so generous Secret Santa! Thank you sharing her sweet and surprised smile with us today! ❤ Great job East Idaho News crew!
Toilets are important to everyone. I don't know what I'd do without a toilet.
Considering what plumbers charge, this gift is wonderful. Been there done that.
😭 Her faith is inspiring! I’m glad we got 2 tonight! 🎉
She radiated kindness and goodness, God bless her!!!
Loved it when Nate asked if he could give her another present and she laughed and said, "As many as you want!" Also loved her smile. So many people cry, which is completely understandable, but it was lovely to start my day with this woman's joy and her genuine faith--both in her God and in Santa.
Martha does so much for others, and is so humble. Thank you Secret Santa for helping Martha.
She has a gentle and cheerful heart. She was already so thankful for those first two gift boxes. Thank you for all your help. Another of those sweet and lighthearted episodes. :)
Martha was sweet, funny, and genuine all rolled into one!!
Thank you, Secret Santa; you made her day!!
She has a real sparkle in her eye.
Who wouldn't want this lady to be your friend. Merry Christmas and may 2024 bring you Peace, Joy and Happiness. May God Bless you. Hugs - lots of them.
Note to the Plumber: Give her a new toilet.
Thank you Secret Santa for helping the deserved and for Nate and Friends for delivering.
The little things we take for granted like a Toilet 🚽. What a sweetheart ❤
What a beautiful smile! I Believe in Santa!
Aw, I wanna hang out with that lady. She has a great energy about her.
What an absolutely lovely and sweet woman! So humble!
Such warm energy... she probably makes anyone she meets comfortable instantly.
Martha is such a precious soul! No matter the trials, God is with us! How true that is. I love how she gave you (Secret Santa) credit for blessing her but also Christ. Secret Santa, thank you for giving so much love and hope to so many deserving people. We love you!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
That’s the part that got me! Even though she was surprised, she still gave him praises 🙌🏽❤
@@cayarudegal YES 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Such a sweet lady. Seems like she wasn't familiar with Nate and Secret Santa and therefore was genuinely surprised. Amazing! Who wants to bet she's on the phone with that plumber ASAP? God bless her. Thank you, Secret Santa. Thanks to Nate and helpers too. Merry Christmas to all! 🎄🎄🎄
I hope she does call the plumber. Today.
A wonderful trio of gifts from Secret Santa! "I have another gift for you" is a great line to hear. Nate, the woman who makes the gift boxes is incredible. Every box you give has a personal touch and they look Christmas-y.
God Bless this lady. Such a humble beautiful woman.
Grateful people are the best people. ❤❤❤
A special lady thanks secret Santa 😘

I keep the Spirit of Santa in my heart all year long.
It helps, especially on a bad day.

I love Secret Santa. I always feel a lil heartbroken when they say "There are others who need it more." True but this one was the greatest. "You can give me as many as you want." xoxo
What a sweet genuine lady!
So precious, not enough words to describe how this instills my faith in humanity. Thank you Idaho, Nate and the wonderful team! East Idaho is amazing! With Live from Texas.❤
Now I know who Secret Santa is! 😮😊❤
What a precious humble lady! Thank you SS.
The beauty in helping people who always put others before themselves is that it’s all but guaranteed she will use the money and gift cards to help less fortunate than herself.
What a sweetheart!
What a sweet woman. God bless her. Bless you Secret Santa and all of the elves. 🩷🩷
She is so humble. She knows that Heavenly Father loves her. Bless her She must be trying to save on heating as she was wearing her coat in the house
Thank you again! We take so much for granted.., like a working toilet. Plus gift cards and the check for her! This made her so happy and us watching too! Thanks Nate and the crew!🙏❤️🎼🎄
Can’t believe how much Sugar City has grown. I lived there in the 70’s, there was a post office, a potato warehouse, & a couple farm houses. Look at it now! Wow!
Wonderful gifts for this precious lady who was sooo surprised! Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and all EIN crew--you are awesome!! Merry Christmas everyone!! ❤❤
What a wonderful humble lady
I love that answer when you asked if you could give her another gift. Everyone picked here is deserving, but I feel so bad for people when they think they don't deserve it. I like her reaction better
She is so cute!
Isn't she though. She's awesome.
What a very wonderful, thankful and gracious lady.
Ok, I love this lady. We need to copy her everything & send her everywhere on earth. XoxoxoX She's got the best laugh & I'm jealous of Nate for getting a big hug from an angel XoxoxoX So sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤tysm Secret Santa 🎅 🧑🎄 🎁🎁🎄

The world will be a better place if we love and care for one another. God help us all. Thanks Nate and EIN crew. Secret Santa, thanks for the love❤🇬🇭🇬🇭
I would be on the couch for a few moments after they leave, crying my eyes out, for being so blessed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It’s 2AM and you’re already lighting up the day. What a lovely woman.
