      @@shmodzilla I am 51 years old and only pop vitamins. Just thinking of the sick Americans who cannot afford the insurance or get huge healthcare bills. I can’t imagine the stress when you are already sick. In Canada when I turned 50, every Canadian gets mailed a stool test kit and for women a mammogram test. All at no cost. My doctor sends me for a blood and urine check every year or two at no cost. Preventative medicine is key.

      Everyone is tasked with carrying their burdens. Just because they have a heavier cross to bear doesn't mean your worries and anxiety aren't real as well. You can't let your light shine if you're carrying darkness, even if it less severe than others.

My mom is 8 years breast cancer free as of July 19th of this year! I don't take every day that I have with her and my dad for granted, and I am so blessed to have them both in my life!

    Wow. Misty-eyed and smiling. These videos are so heartwarming, and good for my soul. Thanks Secret Santa for sharing your wealth, and spreading joy around the world.
    Thanks Nate, Santa's helpers and East Idaho News.

    Secret Santa is such an amazing thing. I discovered it last year and am so happy to see it's continuing this year. Sending Sarah and Drew very best wishes and praying that their radiation is completely successful. This gift is going to help them for sure. Hugs from Italy
