The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.
Finau is one of the most giving, humble people you could ever meet. Though she has little herself, she would do anything for anyone.
She hasn’t had the easiest life but she is positive and never puts herself first. She is a single mother with a teenage son and a daughter who has to visit the doctor a lot.
Finau's car broke down this summer and she doesn’t have the means to repair it because of medical bills. Finau's son plays football and she loves to watch him play. She is so supportive and will do anything to attend his games even without having a car. She always has a sign ready to cheer from the sidelines.
Finau has resorted to renting a car to take her daughter to Salt Lake City for appointments and to watch her son play the last game of the season. She’s just a good, kind person always doing kind things for others.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to visit Finau and surprise her with an early Christmas gift. Check out the video in the player above!

Nate's got some real talent. To always be able to handle each situation with such grace and class. Great job everyone.
Yes, I was thinking the same Kylen. He is so sensitive and caring isn't he. A lovely man.
You can tell Nate really loves God and walks like it. ❤
🙏🙏🙏♥️
@RoyalMasterpiece amen
This man is lead by the Spirit.
Nate is amazing...I could never do it. I can't make it through one video without crying.❤
Thank you Secret Santa for showing her she is loved and deserving. ❤
Yes!!! Incredibly deserving!❤❤❤
Agreed!!! I cried along with her!!
Merry Christmas to All!!!
We love you Nate!!!
Yes Finau, you do deserve it. You truly do. She may not have said much at first but her gratitude was evident. This car will make life so much easier for her and her children. Secret Santa, thank you for all your kindness and generosity. Nate, thank you and the Helpers for the delivery and video...and the call to Finau's boss. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅❤
Merry Christmas to you & yours!!!
She is a single mum doing everything she can fir her kids, totally deserving. Sending love from the UK x
Happy holidays to you from America! 😁🎄🇺🇸
Bless her heart! What an incredibly lady. ♥️♥️
I think sometimes ppl struggle for so long and never complain but suffer in silence and feel like maybe nobody sees them or their pain. That’s what I’m getting from this lady. Which is why she was so apologetic & in shock
There are so many millions going through what you described above...this inflation is wreaking havoc on so many households. ❤
This momma seems so broken. So sad to hear her say she feels like she doesn't deserve this. She does! And she needed this!
I agree
Shot out to the boss too she seems very caring
I was waiting for her to say it was ok for her to miss some hours at work😏
Of course she was nice about it... Could you imagine if she was a total Scrooge? 😂 I'm sure in her head she was like " great, more work for me now" lol😉
@@lilylore3058 I highly doubt that she thought that.
That is one deserving woman, and her supervisor was so cool and happy for her! She was so shocked! And grateful!
Of course her boss was like that while being recorded !!!! How many people do you think would be fake if they knew everyone could hear them ?????? She couldn’t be upset even if she was !!! Some people will believe anything!😂
@@leanneadams2549 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Life can be beautiful if you allow it to be.
@@leanneadams2549 I think you might have misunderstood me about her Supervisor. I think her Supervisor was genuinely happy for her and is a very nice person. I don't think she was being nice as she was being recorded, I think she's just simply a nice person and reacted very positively for this nice lady. I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make and I guess I really don't care. There are some nice people on this planet so why try to take a shot at them for being themselves.
@@leanneadams2549 typical troll response...
I'm not sure how the Secret Santa candidates are chosen, but maybe it was even the lady's boss who nominated her!
I love that he called her boss to help give this lady some time to pull herself back together!! One less thing for her to worry about! Awesome video!
“What for do I deserve this?” Ma’am, you saying those words, tells me you do. God Bless her and her family. We know her Christmas will be filled with love and gratitude. May her New Year be joyous as well.
What a wonderful surprise for a deserving Mom!
Medical beers! I like that! 😂
You can always tell when such a burden is lifted off of someone. Merry Christmas! This was sweet
This dear woman is not at all used to others doing for her. What a beautiful thing!
And who wouldn't be stunned when a Secret Santa drops by your home to give you a brand new car!!?? I'm SO HAPPY for this Mom!!!!! 🎄♥️🧑🎄
Right?? I think any of us would need some time to pull ourselves together after this.
More people need to do this. I know for a fact if I was a millionaire I would do this every year especially being from Anchorage alaska. Well done secret Santa.
Sometimes people just need a kind word or a little help with a chore - something we can all do. In a way, Secret Santa gives everyone watching a gift by reminding us that we can each do a small part.
"especially being from Anchorage Alaska" < What does this mean?
@billwilson5341 had the same thought lol. Im from Alaska but what's it gotta do with anything.. Perhaps because we have a north pole and it's like a winter wonderland...
You have to wonder why this is not a more universal practice - so many wealthy people just living the high life with no thought to just how much hard life there is going on all around them - just give some that filthy lucre away - you can't even sleep in more than one bed at a time, let alone live in 3 or 4 big houses !
The same way we give when we have little will be the same way we give when we have much. Luke 16:10.
This lady has been so overwhelmed with heartache it's so hard for her to accept some kindness,
She was so overwhelmed.....and you do deserve this lovely lady.
It is nice to see ordinary, deserving people get Christmas from a secret Santa.
Her kids will be so surprised and happy! She's in shock. Glad the team were going to walk her back to her apartment.
Sometimes we judge way to early. God bless this Lady. May JESUS come and be merciful to those who need him.
I am 60 and have had many wonderful presents and Christmases. Now my best presents are these videos....thank you again East Idaho News and Secret Santa!❤
Nate--people comment all the time on your ability to handle any type of situation, and you proved them more than right with this video. Your tact and grace with people is phenomenal. Finau--I hope your family and you have a most wonderful Christmas. I have these grand thoughts of you driving your new car to doctor's appointments and your son's football games this coming year. Have a wonderful year!!!
Oh Dear, I know she is Samoan as soon as Nate mentioned her name because I am. Thank God for The Secret Santa, Nate & The Whole Idaho News Crew! Merry Christmas Y'All!🎉
I dated a Samoan guy many many years ago and he was extremely nice. They're just some of the most wonderful humble good hearted people you'll ever meet.
I don't think I have seen someone so shocked in any of these vids over the years, that's awesome! That's when you know they truly deserve it! Merry Christmas!
Those tears show how much she feel grateful for the gift. Whoever you're Secret Santa God Bless You.
To the recipient of the car: yes, you DO deserve a gift! And thank you secret Santa!
The true meaning of Christmas is giving. Thank you Secret Santa for showing us this. Great job Nate and all his elves!
*The true reason for Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ.*
Bless her. They caught her at when she was really low. She's probably really struggling. So happy she got this car. Thank you Secret Santa.
Man, you can just see she's got some built up stuff in there, so glad she got that car!
What a lovely, sweet woman! So deserving!
Awwww she totally deserves this gift. What a sweetheart. Good job Nate you're incredible. Thank you secret Santa.
Thank you Secret Santa for helping this dear family
Oh my goodness, I'm crying right along with her. Thinking that she doesn't deserve it is exactly why she does deserve it. Nate, you have such a good heart. The way you interact with the recipients is heartwarming. Merry Christmas, everyone!❤
Yes, you do deserve it, Finau, and need it for your daughter and son!! Wishing the best with your daughter's health!!
And glad her boss was so understanding and completely happy for her, too.
Nate, you're the bomb & Secret Santa, you're the best!!!
Nate: Oh, shoot, I forgot to put it in there 😋😋
What a tear jerker, what a blessing. Thanks to Secret Santa
Sometimes in life, you need a major break in your life. I’m glad to see this happen to someone who needed it.
Nate, I hope the station is paying you 1 million a year. You’re a gem brother!
Think he owns the station...
@@To_Live_Is_To_Sufferno, he doesn't. I agree with the poster, he is worth a lot. ❤
@@marygoff3332 If you look at East Idaho News LCC Nate Eaton is the principle . He owns the business.
Secret Santa you couldn't of helped a more deserving mom Thank you
Once again, as someone who has been poor forever, this is something that doesn't happen to us. So to be seen and surprised with something of this magnitude is a ridiculous blessing and may render us speechless. But we couldn't be filled with more gratitude. Thank you, Secret Santa. It seems small to some but for those of us who have lived a life of struggle, thank you.
What's with the "us" and the "we"? You speak only for yourself. Others may agree with you but you speak only for you and you alone.
Maybe they speak for their family? I watch these videos with my mother in law so would say we and our too if writing a message
@@billwilson5341 speak for yourself.
A gift like this changes a person's life. Thank you, Secret Santa for helping this mom so she can continue to support her children.
Oh my. This was well deserved. This lady had the reaction of a person afraid to step forward, for fear that the rug would be yanked out. Bless her and her family, and bless Secret Santa!
Best..."I am late for work" phone call....EVER! I am crying. Thank you Secret Santa and Nate and your team.
Not only did Secret Santa think she deserved the car, WE THINK SHE DESERVED IT!! Merry Christmas to all watching this video.
Another game-changing delivery! Vehicles are truly a necessity if you don't live in a major city with mass transit. This is a gift of security for her and her family.
I'm dreading the impending end to Secret Santa deliveries. These videos truly make my days brighter 😊
I re-watch through the year. It reminds me of the gift of caring and sharing is always needed by someone and to do my part to help those in need.
I saved the playlist to my UA-cam and re-watch them all year long.
This is one of THE BEST ones yet!!! Thank you for giving this special gift to her. God is truly GREAT!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌
sometimes when you are struggling for a long time, you think you are alone...and it becomes challenging to keep going with a smile...this gift reminded her that she is not alone...and everyone gets a turn.....Merry Christmas
May this remind you that God hasn't forgotten you. He knew you existed, and you mean the world to your family.
Everything she does for her children?? She absolutely deserved this! Thank you Secret Santa & team!
Thank you Secret Santa for helping this family❤
I am just so happy for this Mama. A huge burden has been lifted and life is going to be so much easier. She was so shocked. Merry Christmas to her and her children.
A person who is so use to giving would say" I don't deserve this." But they are the ones most grateful. Blessed are the givers. Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and crew.
She's very deserving and so appreciative of this wonderful blessing.
Awesome lady! You can feel her gratitude.
Love that Nate called her boss so she didn’t have to worry or explain the situation.
She does deserve it. God bless this woman.
What a sweet and deserving lady. Thank you to Secret Santa and thank you to such an understanding boss.
She deserves it and more! WOW! I'm crying along with thousands of others.
Never has a million dollars bought so much value and appreciation and joy both for the recipients as well as those watching. God bless you all.
BEAUTIFUL---Thank you Secret Santa, Nate & The Crew
If Secret Santa ever doubts his generosity, all he has to do is watch this one.
Bless Her Heart! She DOES deserve kindness & Love. That Cars A Symbol of both. God Bless You Girly!💙🙏💙🙏💙
Wow! Thank you Secret Santa and the guys.
These are the people that deserve it! So humble...
Thank you Secret Santa for making peoples lives a little easier this Christmas. 🎄 ❤️
That's how you do it, who ever this secret Santa is - you just made this woman so happy to have a new car. She can drive to see her kid's game and take her daughter to appointments. She doe deserve this and so many thanks to the Secret Santa. You are a Hero!!
One of the things that makes this a special time of year for me is watching these every day. I look forward to it every year! The generosity of Secret Santa is amazing and such a blessing!
I've watched so many of these, with Nate and the crew. But this one truly has me crying. Nate, thank you so much for calling her supervisor and explaining! 😁😊
Wow!! She is the sweetest! You deserve this sweet mama!!!
That poor women was so overwhelmed she didn’t know how to react. Nate is absolutely amazing with how he handles these.
It's so sad to see a mother sacrifice everything for her children feel like she doesn't deserve her own car. She deserves so much more
Thank you Secret Santa, for blessing so many folks!
What a relief for her!!
Nate, you have changed the way I talked to people forever. You bring an unmatched sincerity and empathy to every Secret Santa visit. Thank you for being the man you are.
Finau is so very deserving and you can tell how grateful she is by all of the tears she shed and the expression on her face. Thank you sweet Secret Santa❣️❣️❣️
What a precious lady! May she know she is loved and deserving and have many safe travels in her new car. God, bless her. ❤
Hate has that extra gift. He is so gentle in his approach. God bless him and his crew.
I know you meant Nate…. 👍🏻
She is so deserving! Merry Christmas
Thank you Secret Santa 🧑🎄
Nate, I really commend you for your patience in waiting for these shocked Secret Santa recipients to get over their emotions before leaving them with the gifts you and your team had just delivered to them. A thousand weight was lifted from this woman's burden due to her gift and she is truly grateful'
I can only imagine how rewarding this all is for the actual Secret Santa!
God Bless this lady. My daughter too is a single mom. And now her daughter is in college.
Oh my heart aches for June. As a survivor of domestic abuse, I instantly recognized her compulsion to apologize. My suspicions were confirmed when she--a genuinely hard-working, single mom who is always there for her kids--worries about the possibility of not having deserved such a life enhancing gift. June, my heart is with you. I am so grateful your stalwart efforts to be a good mom are being formally and publicly recognized and in a way that will lift some of the burdens from your shoulders and heart. Thank you Secret Santa for seeking out those most deserving of emotional and financial support. Thank you Nate and the EIN team for your gentle, persistent compassion towards our fellow humans who find themselves in a dark season. "The darkest hour is just before dawn."
I am crying christmas tears of joy for her. Thank you, Secret Santa, for all you do❤
She is so grateful. It's obvious how deserving she is of this blessing.
Another one of my favorites this year. Heartbreaking and joyful at the same time. So humble and genuinely grateful. Thank you Secret Santa for giving her such an amazing and well deserved gift.
We know that it’s been bad when just the sound of a smooth running engine moves their emotions so much. Good for her.
I was thinking exactly what you wrote...😊
She's so precious. Love this.
She must have endured a lot of hardships and her expectation wasn’t high in life. Thank you secret Santa for restoring faith inside her.
She is absolutely stunned...bless her.
It's always the folks who feel they don't deserve a gift who are actually the one's who truly do.
She really needed a car! Thanks Secret Santa!
What a very emotional secret Santa may God strengthen this lady where she is overwhelmed right now a sefless person that was very deserving of this lovely gesture drive with care may God bless you amen
No words!! She is so overwhelmed!!❤
Thank you, Secret Santa, for seeing the needs of others. This dear lady was so overwhelmed. Many blessings to her.
She’s sweet in her suffering. It’s like she doesn’t expect anything good happen to her. God bless her.
She deserves this so much. Bless her heart! ❤
This lovely, humble woman deserves much more. Bless you wonderful woman and Merry Christmas!👍🎅🎄⛄🍀🕯️🙏
A new car is seriously life changing for people who don't have one and can't afford it! When you don't have a car, you can become isolated, depressed, and stuck!
That sweet lady is so stressed. The tears when Nate presented the check to her! Then the shock of getting a new car. Yes, Fidau, you well deserved that new car and so thankful that Secret Santa thought so as well. One huge burden lifted.
This poor woman is broken down beyond belief. She doesn’t believe she is worthy of good things. Girlfriend you’re a gem. You are worthy and a lovely person. May the Lord bless you and keep you. I’ll be praying for your fam sister.
