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.
Jaime has such a sweet heart and kind disposition. She lives alone with her service dog Emmett. Because of some health challenges, Jaime doesn't drive. She works at a local daycare in Rexburg and takes her job very seriously as she teaches and cares for the needs of the little ones.
No matter the weather, she relies on the Walmart shuttle to help her get to and from work every day. In good weather and bad, she walks from her apartment to the shuttle stop and then from Walmart to her job. Every evening, she makes the same trek back home. In the winter, when the rest of us are complaining about getting a close-enough parking space, Jaime, without complaint, walks over icy, snow-covered sidewalks, sometimes slipping and falling because of her gait.
She grew up in the Rexburg area, and after her family moved away, she returned, wanting to call eastern Idaho her home. Against many odds, she graduated from BYU-Idaho and she wants to be a contributing member of the community. Even with her partial hearing loss, Jaime has one of the most beautiful singing voices, and she would like to take part in community choirs. However, those usually meet at night, and the only transportation Jaime has is her own two feet.
Toward the end of this past September, Jaime and Emmett walked to dinner one evening. On the way home from the restaurant in the dark, she was hit and a car ran over her foot. This slowed her down for a while, but Jaime was determined to get back to her responsibilities at work.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves if we could surprise Jaime with some early Christmas gifts. Watch the video above to see what happened!
I’m a Persian in Germany and I have been following Nate for 3 years now and I waited this whole year for secret santa. My family thinks I’m crazy, because I have no business with the USA or Idaho, but I love NATE! ❤️❤️❤️🥳 Love the secret Santa!
edit: YAALLL. This is my most commented on comment I think. Happy tears here. This year has been particularly hard for my husband and I. I watch Nate as a way to feel happy and I love Christmas the most anyways. My husband suffers from chronic depression and crippling self-doubt. He quit is job during covid at the start of this year to work on his own. He is an accountant. Almost everything we planned went south. One day it got really bad. This was less than 4 weeks ago. We take day by day, stay calm and work on ourselves. It feels great to know, that so many people cared and commented. We all matter.❤️
Ha! I'm in the UK and have zero link to the US. But still love to watch as many of these as I can since I came across them just last year, as it really boots my mood and is such a lovely reminder of all the good (ppl,) in the world.
Enjoy!
And a very early Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, to you. 😊
I live on an island in Mediterranean and I love Nate.
@@loobylouboti and im from New Zealand and love this as well
@@caropapa An early Merry Christmas to you too! 😊
It doesn't matter where you live because these videos bring joy to us...
This is the best thing on UA-cam and more people should know about it
I agree with you 💯. I share this to my Facebook friends and family
Except it makes me cry.
Been watching East Idaho News YT channel for a loooong time and it is so inspiring.
@@marymarysmarket3508 tissue? Crybaby
It’s definitely the good part. ❤️
My wish for Jamie is to make great friends in the choir and not need Uber in the future.
Amen!
Me too!
Amen!! z🙂
Amen to that!
💜💜💜
She is so cute and kind, and I love her little giggle! Hope she gets to take part in those community choirs and that Emmett gets lots of extra treats too! Thank you, Secret Santa!
What a beautiful young woman. There's a gentleness in her face and manner.
Couldn't have said it better myself
I can't believe a girl as beautiful inside and outside as her hasn't found someone yet 😍 😳
@@siliconiusantogramaphantis2122
RIGHT !
Totally!
@@siliconiusantogramaphantis2122 You never know who might be in that community choir looking for their sweetheart too!
So….. I consider myself a “man’s man.” I can’t remember the last time I cried in front of my wife. And I don’t think I’ve ever cried in front of any of my nearly adult children. But I’ve been watching these Nate Eaton, East Idaho news/secret Santa videos for about 3 years now. And I don’t think there’s been one yet that doesn’t choke me up and bring at least one tear to my eye (please don’t tell my family!)! But I’m blown away with the amount of time and research that goes into discovering these truly deserving people/families! Generally, I hate charities. Because so many of them don’t get the help to the people who need it most. But these stories are always of people who are working hard, aren’t looking for handouts, and deserve it more than anyone else I could imagine! Which in turn…. Makes them grateful and understanding of the gravity of the gift they’re being given. I wish my local news station did this. I’d love to contribute to such a cause!!
you are not alone, I'm supposed to be in work mood but I can't... I think the only thing I can do now is to follow the example and help other who are also having a bad time. Maybe that will stop the tears.
I won't tell your family...cause I choke up too, and wouldn't want mine to know either.
Its ok....im a tradie and i tear up xoxo
Just here for my daily smile and cry, keep the eyes lubercated
I always cry when I watch a Secret Santa video. Gets me every time.
You can tell Nate is not acting at all, he seems like genuinely great person.
Sweet woman. She seems like the kind of person everyone needs in their life.
As a Russian male, we're not known for emotions or feelings but this brought me to my tears. She is such a wonderful young lady, God bless and I wish you all the best.
I’m Russian
Well what WE SAY IN AMERICA, "REAL MEN CRY"
There is a Russian widow with 2 kids that got a car from Secret Santa. Check the video. It was 3 weeks ago.
She couldn’t even have her service dog with her! Wow. Now she can travel safely with her aide at her side just the way it should be. Bless her.
She is absolutely adorable! How could people let her walk anywhere. I live in Idaho and left after one winter. They are brutal. That whole community should be helping that sweet Angel!
She could be refusing help. Some people want to be dependent.
@@gsmith6026 yeah I could see that that’s probably why the Secret Santa chose the gifts he did. Making it for her dog as well as groceries and rides. Hard to turn that help down when you can’t face them! What a sweetie she is!
Its idaho people are rude in idaho
I agree. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Walmart Shuttle is Wonderful. I know the Walmart Director, V. T. I am his family member.
So great. I was hoping she’d get a car but it is a blessing regardless.
She cannot drive
The letter said she had some challenges making her unable to drive. A car would've been nice, but not beneficial for her. That was why they gave her the ride share gift.
@@miket6314 yeah the giving is some times inconsistent. They’ll give some people 20k but they only gave her 3k. Still very nice tho
A scorter would have made a world of difference to her she could go anywhere.
@@paulaholbrook3913 she lives in Idaho. A scooter doesn’t work in the winter.
If only I lived nearby, I would take her to and from choir practice!
She's such a sweet soul. Wish her the best ❤
I thought maybe she would be given a car or funds for hearing aids due to some hearing loss, maybe she did not hear the car and walked out in its path. But she is so grateful and so sweet.
She's so cute. I hope her choir dreams come true. :)
You can tell she really appreciated the gifts!
The recipients this year seem more appreciative than in years past. That's not to say previous years recipients weren't grateful for the gifts they got, it just seems different this year. Maybe it's me. Whatever it is, Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you Secret Santa.
I feel it is a fact that the last 2 years have been extremely difficult for everyone
I've never seen a blade of grass in Idaho but I've been subscribed to this channel for 3 years just for the annual Secret Santa videos. Thanks East Idaho News for bringing some good back to the world every year. Merry Christmas everyone!
You can tell shes warm spirited and humble 💗
I’m not crying, Nate’s crying ☺️
This guy Nate is the perfect guy for this job. Very uplifting
Oh my gosh!! Jamie you are a sweetheart and I love your dog Emmett!! You deserve all of those gifts and more. Many Blessings this holiday season.
She is so adorable and seems very sweet and gentle. What nice gifts for such a deserving person.
You can see the kindness and pureness of this young woman’s heart and she remains that way even with the cards she’s dealt. She was so deserving of her gifts. I wish I could find her and give her more.
She seems like such a beautiful woman. Very deserving. Congrats and Merry Christmas
I love her!!!
Y.S. runs the show & I am his family member.
I love Secret Santa
Being your last name is cash I can see why
Hello Nate and everyone at East Idaho News, my name is Rhennie Aleman and I live in Bakersfield CA I first became aquatinted with you through Court TV when you reported about JJ and Ryley and I've since become a great fan not just of the news but of the people of East Idaho. I've never been there but I do hope someday I can visit. Why? Because I have found, over the last 3 yrs that the people there are people who I would like to know. The kindness seems to me contagious. I'm still watching your secret santa episodes weeks after Christmas every morning on UTube. I could go on and on but I just wanted to thank you very much. Rhenniealeman (PS I have never wrote in to anyone before)
I love Secret Santa!
I think she deserved more than 3.000 dollars! She is so sweet and nice!
I wish every rich person in every Country would do a Secret Santa in their Community! Can't think of better way to redistribute wealth to those who need it the most who help others the most.❤️🙏😔🇬🇧
I think I will complain a little less today after watching what looks like a very exceptional girl. I need to be more tough like her! Thank you secret Santa.
that made me happy to see people like her!That made my and her day of course!Keep on doing that with Secret Santa Nate!😁
You gotta love Nate and Mr./Mrs. Santa. Long may they both prosper and continue to brighten others' lives...
@@palaver40 True True!When i travel to Idaho Falls i will try to meet Nate and ask him some questions and i will try to record it when i dont forget my Camera!^^😁
Watching from the Philippines Nov 14 Sunday
Two Secret Santa videos tonight?!!!??!!! Awesome - thank you!! Going to watch now.
'Thank you so much from Emmett too.' Says it all right there. What a lovely lady.
if I was a member of that community choir, I'd be glad to be her ride.
I loved my church and community choir times; I sure would be her ride , too!
I live in WV.. but I absolutely LOVE WATCHING THIS EVERY SINGLE YEAR
What a sweetheart!
She looks like a sweet person.
Secret Santa makes me smile 😀
🙏✌🏼💜
What a Sweetheart ❤️ Great job Secret Santa!!! This Lady & her BEAUTIFUL dog were certainly on the good list ❤️❤️❤️❤️God bless
I love these thoughtful gifts. EIN and Secret Santa are good at finding the perfect things to make every day life a little more easy.
What a lovely young lady. I wish her well.
Such a kind face and aura. God bless you and Emmett.
OMG I love her. She seems so sweet and deserving of a little love.
Amazing how one person ,Secret Santa , ripple effect is making the whole planet a happier place. Nice to see a person , a single person, do so much good for his fellow neighbors with the only intent is to give unconditionally. JUST WOW! and WORLD WIDE!
Beautiful. 🎅♥️
Thank you, secret santa! Nate always looks so happy to deliver these gifts to these wonderful people.
I always cry when UA-cam's 'The Dodo' channel does this for needy animals. This is the first time a teared up for a human.
I want Nate's job...so any millionaires that need help passing out money in Missouri ...I'm totally up for this type of job! Blessings to all!
Gowsh!!! She is the sweetest human ever!!! 💔💔😢
My, she’s SO pretty. Her Corgi Emmet, too!
I love everyone involved in this Secret Santa stuff. 💝
Here we go again. Let me grab my box of tissues. :) God bless y'all!
Whoever this mysterious secret Santa is, thank you for making so many peoples days and probably years. Merry Christmas everyone
I very much look forward to these EVERY YEAR!!! I am SOOO excited that 2021 has started!!!! When I was battling stage 4 cancer last year, I cannot explain how much joy, happiness and hope this brought me. It made Chemo that much easier and changed my mindset- literally. Now that I am in remission, I know I want to help deserving people in need, just like Nate Eaton!
Secret Santa delivers more than joy to the people that receive the gifts, it brings joy to sooo soo many more people and gives hope.
Shes the absolute sweetest! I love her adorable little giggle, and what a beautiful smile!
Awww, what a sweet lady ! All the best to her and Emmett ! ;-)
Jamie is beautiful and such a sweetheart. Someone give the woman a ride. Merry Christmas 🎁
i am rather confused . some people get brand new big cars but why did this lovely good hearted lady not get a good used car < nothing wrong with that my car is a used one > when she has to walk so much also in the freezing cold and had a foot injury because she too deserves it . the money for free travel could have been put towards a car . secret santa if it is possible please send her a little car .
@@sweeta17 Someone above said that, due to her health (and maybe foot issue....look closely as she walks up), she cannot drive a car.
@@sweeta17 she cant drive. She still should have gotten more than 3000 bucks though
@@Michael-mv3kc after my comment that she cant drive . i had missed that bit and 3 more people did .$ 1000 for traveling wont last long and if she could drive and had got a car it would have been several $ 1000 s hence it should have been far more for taxis.
@@comptroubky my mistake i had missed the bit that she cant drive . i wondered why she did not get treated the same as the others . after i wrote my comment i saw someone elses that said she cant drive .
Thanks again secret Santa. Been watching 4 or 5 years now. How wonderful life is.
Awe!!! You can tell she’s one of the most nicest people ever! She just emits comfort… even through the screen! She was just a doll. Thank you Secret Santa!! And everyone involved!! (Camera persons, producers, assistants, people who nominate …and of course Nate, etc…) just everyone ! I love these stories!
God bless her and her little fur baby!
What a beautiful lady! Thank you Secret Santa 🎅🏼 and Nate, for making her holidays a little brighter this year, and thank you for remembering Emmet as well!
God bless you all 🕊
Someone who donates a million dollars but insists on remaining anonymous is a real giver.
I would pay to watch a 2 hour clip of Secret Santa on the big screen. Bless Secret Santa and Nate. This video made me choke up.
Not all angels fly. Some walk everywhere. And Secret Santa knows it. What a touching story!
Aww she's seems like the kind of person I'd be happy to know my kid's with she's such a sweet heart
She is so beautiful inside and out. Thank you Secret Santa
I love your channel! And all the beautiful content. Thank you to all the secret Santa’s and blessings to all.🙏🏽💗
Nate you’re Beautiful!
Beautiful
What an absolute angel of a human being! I would do anything for her.
So,sweet.Thanks again Secret Santa 🎅 and I think 🤔 😅 she was surprised 😮 and,hope everyone is sharing to all their friends and family members.
She’s a lovely young lady and I hope a permanent solution is found in regards to transportation.
i love these videos ! God Bless you all !
This secret Santa is awesome. It isn't just someone who had an extra million and called the news, they had to decide to do that, call a lawyer and write up the papers, call the news etc. Then their million doesn't just make them feel good, they make the new casters holiday, give us these videos, makes themselves happy, they really do a lot with their money and they knew it. It really stretches the joy of giving out for a bunch of people and that is beautiful.
ich schaue jedes jahr in deutschland ihre videos. ich wünsche mir das andere auch anregt. nate is my favorit bro for doing this job big hug
Thanks Secret Santa and Nate
Thank you Secret Santa! God bless you!❤
Seems like a sweet and kind young lady. Happy for her!
Such a sweet & Beautiful soul this young lady having, those children are so lucky to have her as educator...Thank you East Idaho News & Secret Santa for helping her...
This woman is so deserving! A millionaire could do more. And maybe some friends could help out.
Merry Christmas Jamie! 🌲🎅❄️
I have a feeling that after people see this story, and she goes to the choir, she won't be struggling for a ride anymore. She seems like such a kind, dedicated soul. God is good and always provides. God bless the Secret Santa program for introducing light into an oftentimes dark World.
I sure hope so.
Hopefully Emmett can stay with her now as her service dog . Does she even understand service dogs cannot (by federal law) be denied access anywhere in the U.S.?
These are life changing impactful gifts . Merry Christmas to her, to Idaho News for sharing & the Secret Santa 🧑🏻🎄 with a heart ❤️ in the right spot. I’m inspired too.
At what point did they talk about Jamie and Emmett being refused entry somewhere? I’m confused.
I have to say - none of these would be the same without Nate. He is so perfect for these! Thanks NATE!
So much fun to hear Nate say: 'Merry Christmas everyone' on the fourteenth of november 💗
Last year there were a few days in October that he was out distributing gifts! They get more and more names every year so they have to get an early start to delivering them.
You can tell she's a kind soul. Very deserving. Wish her well.
What a sweet lady! So deserving ❤️🇬🇧
Thank you secret 🎅 thank you Jamie god blessed you and your doggie
Imagine thumbing this down!! Shame on 3 people that did
they must be right miserable so and sos
Why even look at the thumbs down? I never look at them.
Nice to meet Jamie and Emmet! Rexburg got some bad press this year through no fault of its own. That's why it's even nicer to see how people care for each other.
you can always tell very quickly when meeting people whether they are nice, genuine, kind, this lady is all three, i wish her all the very best x
Nice girl she deserves it
Every year I love love love watching this reporter. He is the best!!!
She just wants to get to choir practice. God bless her
I live outside of Cincinnati area and have watched these stories from your channel. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! God bless you all AND the recipients of your love!
She's a beautiful soul 💖💖💖
