When I hear reporters saying a family needs $ 5000 ,,, or whatever for a transplant ,,,,, seriously media ,,,, yr all very rich media simple write out a check to donate to the family !!!!!
@@MrJoe-qh2vb clearly she's struggling and going through hardships. how is a principal being paid so little? they should be making six figures. $5k is basically 3 weeks of wages in NYC for a public school principal.
Cool thing is a Lot of the Recipients Feel there are Other People more Deserving because that’s the kind of people they are. They Definitely Deserve the Help. 👍🙏
My son had a much needed kidney transplant in 2012 after being sick since birth. Even though he will need medication for the rest of his life he hasn’t had a hospitalization since then. It was truly a miracle ❤
I delivery multiple kidneys, livers, spleen, hearths, eyes, lungs etc each week to hospitals I dont go looking for recognition! Gas cards! Maybe pray to that magic zombie a little hard or more seriously?
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 God bless for delivering transplants to loved ones that need them. God bless you and your family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
Beautifully thoughtful nomination, plus the gift from Secret Santa that will satisfy insurance requirement so that her husband can be closer to getting the kidney he needs. This woman is so humble. I pray for a successful transplant and recovery.
@@nannernose3133 "I pray for a successful transplant" so you pray for the unfortunate death of another to save this life IRONIC MUCH? who are you praying too? does pray ever work?
A coworker of mine received a kidney from a complete stranger. Someone donated one of their kidneys anonymously. I cannot think of a greater gift than that. I love watching these acts of kindness.
@@geoffpoole483 yes that does happen. But, my coworker was told it was a donation from a live donor. I did ask him if he ever wanted to find out who it was and thank them in person but he did a thank you through a letter via the hospital. The donor wished to remain anonymous. My coworker got his life back from constant dialysis. He did develop diabetes and has to take anti rejection drugs for the rest of his life but can work and function again. He is about 55 years old.
@@geoffpoole483the individual themselves would’ve had to sign that ahead of their death. Most people that do, have that on their driver’s license as organ donor. 😊
I've noticed that a lot of the people who have received a Secret Santa gift always say "there is someone who needs this more than me". I love how they think of others before themselves. 💖💗💕
I pray they find a match, the surgery goes well and that her husband heals quickly and completely. She must feel like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders. Prayers that can all be together soon too! Sending so much love!
Amazing that people still think prayer is an appropriate response in 2023. But at least a kidney transplant can in theory come from a willing live donor. But consider the horror of praying that your god will kill someone else so that your loved one who needs a heart might live. Not exactly a moral code to live by...Humans will make the outcome possible by action not reliance on praying that a made up god will intervene.
That is the type of gift that start the family on a new journey. I hope her family member accepts and dont reject the new kidney when its time. It will give her and her family some respite and calm over the hollidays.
What a lovely lady. Secret Santa, you have given her such relief. The first thing she said when she saw the check was this would pay for her husband's kidney. Oh, what a blessing. The gas and grocery cards will help so much too. Thank you, Secret Santa, for your generosity and thank you to Nate and helpers for your delivery of the gifts. I just love the love in these videos. ❤🎅❤
How true are your words and to Nate who is the perfect person to deliver Secret Santa’s gifts of love in this troubled world. May we all be willing to lend a helping hand (even in the smallest way) to others in need. Don’t always expect to receive a thank you because the truest good deed does not expect it.
The one's that say "Someone else deserves it more than me" are in fact the ones that deserve it the most. Their empathy for others is put before their own needs, so touching.
This is the first secret Santa report that has literally brought me to tears. It has hit so close to home that it's overwhelming. 24 years ago I donated my kidney to a friend's 2-year-old daughter. I know and understand the need both financially and medically but this family is going through I pray that he gets a kidney and that he is healthy for his family Thank you Nate You have a huge fan in me from Pennsylvania.
I watch all of these every year. This one hit home, I am awaiting a kidney transplant here in the UK. I always realise just how lucky we are over here with regards our NHS which covers all medical costs.
Thank you Secret Santa! You’re giving her husband the gift of life! Thank you Nate for doing your part! Praying her husband gets the right match for a kidney transplant!🙏❤️
You can just visibly see burdens being lifted from her exhausted little self. How wonderful it is to see the body of Christ working how it should and changing people's very lives.
"How wonderful it is to see the body of Christ working how it should and changing people's very lives." Let me get this straight your imaginary thing arranges gas cards thru others but wont cure cancer etc? LOL
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 God is not imaginary, He's Real.

A truly ‘Good Samaritan’ is a generous person who gives anonymously. To this awesome Secret Santa …. I hope neither you, nor anyone you love ever depends on kindness of strangers. If you do, I hope all of us that comment on your generosity step right up to the plate. For now you have our love and respect ❤
My father donated his kidney to his brother about 35 years ago!! Sadly my uncle passed away in 2016 due to stomach cancer... but beacause of my fathers kidney....he lived another great 30 years!! My father is also living a great healthy life still to this day!! Feel so happy for this women and her family!!
May God bless you Secret Santa. May the love you share return to you For you have the gift of wisdom knowing to be selfless and giving. Thanks, Nate and crew for being the good messengers.
It never ceases to amaze me that some of the recipients think that other people might need the gifts more than them. They're the kind of people we need more of today. Thank you, Secret Santa.
It's usually a life changing gift. This time it's a life saving gift. Wow. So,so happy for them. May everything else fall into place and her husband receive a successful transplant.
This is heartbreaking to me that people in the USA have to pay for a transplant. What do you do if you can’t pay? What a relief for this lady and her family . Thank you Secret Santa for coming to the aid of such a deserving lady x
Whether you pay or you have the money stolen from someone else to pay, there is still a cost. Just foisting it upon someone else by force doesn't make it noble that you "don't have to pay". Who is responsible for meeting your needs to continue to live? You are and all those things cost money unless you can produce them with your own talents and labors. No one pays for the place you live in or your transportation or food, nor should anyone be forced to fund what it costs for anyone else to live. Sure they are free to VOLUNTARILY provide you their resources, but the resources of others don't legitimately belong to you and you have no right to them, full stop.
Oh man, It's officially cry with Nate and the crew season again! This is awesome, Secret Santa truly is a blessing to your community and the rest of the world could really learn something from him and his kindness.
Oh my gosh, she was so honest in her expressions! I feel like I just instantly love her as a sister, friend, family member! Just lovely! Thank you Secret Santa! How lovely to get to see this moment!!!!
I never liked teachers, but I dated one for four years recently. and they work so hard for the kids it cant be explained. and she appreciated the gifts her students gave her so much. especially gift cards.
I cried. This is beautiful. Can you imagine if we all didn’t buy all of the unnecessary things that don’t matter and gave the money away to people like this? We would change the world. Thanks for inspiring me East Idaho News.
Sending prayers that his transplant is successful. Stay positive. Thank you a million times over to secret santa! My mom and dad gave me her SUV before they moved away. It was truly a blessing and they know I'm beyond grateful! I've been on my own for 10yrs and raised 2 wonderful young adults.
My very best wishes to them all!! I'm in the UK, I find these surprises so gratifying but so sad..here in the UK no one pays for a transplant!! No one pays for medical treatment as we have our wonderful NHS care!!!
And the shocker (boggles the mind, actually) is that people outside the U.S. mention this often here (and on similar videos), but Americans don't! We have become a nation of largely brainwashed, apathetic, uncaring, overly selfish, misinformed fools.
@boggleboggle100. When our friends in the UK appreciate that they have the NHS, it makes their life better. We often forget how fortunate we are on a daily basis. I think that is a key part of Secret Santa's gifts. Blessings.
Santa honoring two people with ERD already this year really makes me feel seen. All the love to my kidney disease family, I'll see you all at dialysis.
Well I'm sat here feeling annoyed with myself..I'm worried about paying my mortgage and my bills..my health isn't great..mainly severe osteoarthritis and depression..pretty bad IBS..but nothing compared to this lady and her family..this gets me every yr..I sincerely hope her hubbys operation goes well and he can get home for Christmas
@EricaGamet oh Erica thank you very much for your lovely reply.. I was just sat feeling sorry for myself and watching these videos every year makes you realise so many people have it a lot worst.. it just made me think and pull myself up about only thinking of my predicament..but thanks again for being so kind to reply..Merry Christmas to you too..albeit a bit early..I live on my own so don't really bother anymore.. I do myself a Christmas dinner but due to my osteoarthritis can't put my decorations up safely..never mind..I try and treat it as just another day as I've lost so many people and at 64 I'm the o ldest left..I am a Christian so do mark the religious aspects of it..God Bless you..🇬🇧💞🙏✝️👍
I lost it when she said, are you sure you dont want to give that to someone else, she was pretty much overwhelmed with just the gift cards. such a humble spirit.
It's wonderful that she received the help they needed, and absolutely disgusting that the system won't help anyone who needs life-saving surgery without up-front cash.
Within weeks of her kidney transplant, my best friend from jr high lost both parents with six days of each other. This blessed transplant happened less than two months ago, and the new kidney is working at 100%. Thank you to the families that donate during the most challenging time. May Lily’s husband be matched quickly, and may his journey be smooth sailing. 🎉🎉🎉
When the sad day comes, and the secret Santa passes, I hope Nate can share with us the story of this wonderful man so that we can all celebrate his marvellous generosity. I now live far away, in the UK, and watching these secret Santa stories over the past few years from afar have made me a kinder and more generous person, helping where I can.
@TR4zest, Wow! You have given Secret Santa a more valuable gift by following in his path. That is a true gift of the heart. Blessings to you and yours!
"These should go to someone else." tells me everything I need to know about her! I hope the husband's transplant was successful! God bless you, and your family! Well done East Idaho News and Secret Santa!
how awful would it be to offer assistance to a family that makes way above the majority poverty levels....bring this to the Midwest where everyone starves to feed a population of elitists
To Secret Santa: Thank you so much for blessing these families in need, & for Nate & his crew, Thank you so much for posting these videos-does this old man's heart good to see that in today's inhumanity, there is still a spark of hope-from Texas
She is obviously a terrific person and so very deserving of these gifts from Secret Santa. God bless her and prayers for a successful kidney transplant 🙏❤
Prayers for full recovery may the secret Santa be blessed . It's amazing how many lives you touch East Idaho News team. You are a set of journalist bringing more hope and more peace. May your contribution to the greater good never be overlooked. Amazed from 🇮🇳 with love and Diwali wishes to the team

This is my favorite so far, this year. I'm glad she was given those gifts.
How sweet she is! I hope her husband can get his kidney transplant! We love you secret Santa, also much love for Nate and his elf’s! ❤
Prayers for this young lady and her family.
why does this type of program only exist in idaho....spread the love to the rest of the USA. how insane would it be if this happened in california.
how awful would it be to offer assistance to a family that makes way above the majority poverty levels....bring this to the Midwest where everyone starves to feed a population of elitists
Idaho, SS, shouldn't give any $ to blue states.
Ah bless that sweet woman, so humble and deserving
To Secret Santa: Thank you so much for blessing these families in need, & for Nate & his crew, Thank you so much for posting these videos-does this old man's heart good to see that in today's inhumanity, there is still a spark of hope-from Texas
