Few years ago someone tried to get my great grandfather (RIP) In his 90s at the time calling saying it was me and I was in jail in cali and needed 2000$ for bail but don't tell anyone. He called me I was working in Illinois. My uncle was taking him to the bank when I heard his voicemail and called him back and said it wasnt me I was fine DO NOT SEND MONEY. People are sick. Never figured out who called him but I believe in karma and there's a special place in hell for people like that.
Always assume it someone want to give you something you did not ask for that it is a scam. Of if any 'company' calls you that you did not specific contact about an issue. My father in law has been scammed multiple times both through his PC and a phone scam that stole everything in his bank account. he just believe everyone is good and truthful
Exactly! I'm a senior (almost 70) and I get junk mail all the time that looks like official government business, but I'm very careful. Most of it is just a way to get you on their mailing lists so they can market Medicare supplements, final expense insurance and other products for seniors, but if I got a check for $5,000 from a stranger, I'd be skeptical too and I'd make sure it was legitimate before cashing it. It was heartwarming to see how her entire demeanor changed, once she realized it was genuine.
@Lotta Sunshine I'm 44 but old enough to know how the real world works. Its refreshing to see good people still exist, but it's always wise to be skeptical and cautious in life. Keep being careful because heartless thieves will take you for every penny if given the chance.
@@lottasunshine1325 you're right, and stay skeptical!!! I help a senior neighbor (92) who years before fell victim to a "life insurance" scheme that cost her over $200,000!!! (She is not wealthy, lives very humbled but was left an inheritance by her late husbands family). Woe and behold, she gets junk mail to this day and she buys into it. Not literally, but she probably would if I let her!
Nate Eaton is so kind and patient with this elderly lady, and with others. He understands her. Those little barking dogs would have worn my patience out in a minute, but not Nate. I wonder if there are awards (civic awards, tv awards) to recognise people like Nate Eaton.
She looks like she's afraid to believe that someone would take the time to help someone who absolutely needs it. I'm glad that she gets the help she needs, no one who's this age should struggle to survive. A big thank you to the Secret Santa for everything that you're doing for those who absolutely needs it.
Well said Loretta. She is a bit guarded and I'm going to guess for good reason based on her life experiences, but so glad that there are others who are looking out for those who are in need, especially during this giving season. FYI, I had an aunt/godmother named Loretta and she was a kind person too. Merry Christmas to you!
I agree because I have been scammed by being to nice, I'm just stupid God knows I have a big heart and would love to be able to help others even though I don't have much 💛
ringasa well, I’m in my 70’s as well. LOTS of us have to work and it actually is more difficult than I’d thought. Younger people want older people out. We’d enjoy some time to just breathe, go back to school, learn a new thing but it’s not set up to do that. I stopped working because my company needed to know when I’d be done with cancer and I wasn’t able to tell them a date. Now I’m on social security. It’s not sad, it’s reality. The newspaper delivery route is a good job and I applaud her for having it. So happy there’s a secret Santa 🎅 out there. When I believe in things I feel rich. Right now I’m feeling very wealthy. Merry 🎄 Christmas everyone 😍
Maybe she enjoys it .. my mom sits behind a desk but is that age and she would die before she would give up her... That generation was just built differently...
I really love that she's a gutsy lady who was on guard to protect herself from scammers. So many seniors are vulnerable and get conned and she is NOT one of them.
As someone without the means to give in this capacity, I'd be thrilled to be able to do it on someone else's behalf. The best would be if you had the ability to provide these gifts yourself and deliver them personally, but, said it was from a secret santa. I don't know if I could help wanting to connect with the people I'd be giving gifts to. Glad it's filmed!
@@japan7970 I teared up watching this. This is a screwed up world that we live in and things like this remind us that humanity still exists. What do you do for a living? I'm a retired Army Combat Medic Veteran with a tour in Iraq 2004. I've seen and heard things that you'll never see in your lifetime. You scare me. A hard man who has emotions is a man. A man without emotions is a soft dangerous man.
If the "Secret Santa" is watching this, this Kentucky girl wants to tell him that not only did he change the lives of 60 or so Idahoans, but he has made my Christmas. THANK YOU!
I love how he’s explaining everything to her. He answers all her questions perfectly. She’s so sweet and needs a break! So glad she was chosen to receive a gift!
Yetta Kosovo instead of judging someone maybe be compassionate. How do you know her kids aren’t like the millions of other Americans living paycheck to paycheck? Maybe they aren’t able to help her.
Diane was so cute in that she wanted to believe but couldn't understand why this was happening to her. I am thrilled that she called to thank Nate and Secret Santa. That made my day. In my world a 77 year old woman wouldn't have to deliver papers to buy a washer and dryer - so Secret Santa thank you for blessing Diane this Christmas.

The kids spent the night at their house, while the adults camped out to save a spot ! So wonderful ! My sister was visiting recently from Wisconsin and we took our eighty eight year old mom to see the post office where her lovely dad worked from as a mailman. Then we went by the beautiful church where he was the caretaker after he retired. It is on Colorado Bl. It was a Baptist Church. Now it is an Asian Church . Take care. 🦊
Man I can’t help tearing up. Stuff like this makes me want to become successful, not for myself, but so I could afford to do things like this too. I’m not a religious man, but bless whoever the secret Santa is to giveaway so much money.
This is the perfect example of God.....loving your neighbors!!

Hope you find that relationship with Jesus 💝 Blessings 🙏
I completely agree. I'm currently living in a shelter but I want to find a way to become successful so I can take care of myself, my family, and my community.
Jesus is not a religion, Hes a person. It's not about being good enough and earning your way to heaven like every other false religion. Jesus offers grace, He died for us all. No other religion has ever done that. They are all false. Only Jesus did that. Hes the only way to heaven and the only truth. He loves you!! He saved me from suicide. He's the only one true God. I just wanted to share that with you. Pray and ask Jesus to show you the way, He will. Take care and goodbye!! You are so loved and adored by God. I hope you have a beautiful day!!
Why should a 77 year old work this hard to buy simple necessary stuff specially in a country like that.... this breaks my heart but thank you to whoever started this secret santa thing ♥️
Sometimes in life the winds just blow you sideways, and simple necessities aren't easily obtained any more. We never know fully what another person is going through or what burdens they are facing. That is why it doesn't hurt to treat people kindly. Simple gestures don't cost much but can make a big difference. You need not be a millionaire to do something thoughtful.
...I think she may have said "office" referring to her car she works out of delivering papers. either way she's been provided for in grand fashion by Secret Santa and EIN....she is a special lady for sure.. Merry Christmas ya'll
@@m.a.c.8366 I live(d) in troy idaho and I don't think I heard anyone ever call their car a car. It was either outfit, rig, or truck (but cut off the hard c as soon as it starts).
Good on this lady for being aware that the world is full of scammers and questioning this...good on the Secret Santa for caring enough to help others...good on the dogs for barking...they are her protectors...
To be delivering papers every morning at 77yo through good and bad weather is truly a testimony of such a deserving gift from the Secret Santa. ~Blessings~
how normal people feel when they have worked hard for everything for their entire life. and someone finally recognizes how difficult that is and provides some type of relief.
I think it's unfortunate alot of our senior citizens have to work into their 70s and 80s to survive, I'm grateful that she has good health to keep doing what she's doing and didn't have a heart attack receiving her Christmas gifts, it's a clear reminder that if we know of a senior that is still working we should be looking out for them and help them as much as possible, two years ago my senior neighbor fell off the roof hanging Christmas lights and it's been my honor to take care of that task for him until he passes, it's the little things that will mean something someday.

Nice, is that your name? My dad swears he worked with a guy with the last name pipes, named his son rusty. Honestly, Nate could've informed her a bit better. I would've panicked a bit, too
I love the way Host. Reacts to the people..he does not look down. On the less fortunate ones. He supports them. By his calm heart touching tone of his voice. Bless all
This woman was very smart when she decided to be cautious. Cashing a check from a stranger can cause numerous problems. I'm so glad she realized everything was real. I'm in my seventies and there are so many scam artists. Nate and Secret Santa have brought a lot of joy to people over the years.
Of all the stories I've watched, this one touched my soul. She's like: no I don't want anything. I think when she closed the door she still did not believe. YES VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUSE!!
Sweet thing has lived 77 years and has apparently never ever seen humanity in this concept , she deserves this and much more .... God bless her and the Secret Santa ..... And also Nate and his team .
imagine the pain that lady has gone through in life for her to be that skeptical, I feel so bad for her, and happy at the same time that they helped her
I gotta say it one more time the man who gives the gifts out is the sweetest man! You can tell he really feels the Christmas spirit while he’s doing this! 🥰🥰🥰
This is why I get so mad at these freaking youtubers with stupid mansions made of legos and 10 super cars!!! 5000 is life changing for some and toilet paper for others! I will never understand why some people feel like they need so much.....smh. This was beautiful to watch, I just hope one day I can be lucky enough to be able to give like this!
Get mad at others for their success in life. While you keep at it, lets blame everyone else who has arms and legs because some people doesnt have them or get born without them. Life will never be fair, no matter how far up you can push yourself you might not even get close to what some make monthly. Don't blame others living their life how they want to. Also you are able to give like this so don't go and put up excuses to why you can't. It's really sad to take a video like this and make ur dumb and degenerate comment turning something happy into something negative.
they are not necessarily mad at their "success" they are mad at how they talk about their success. For example, a lot of celebrities talk and boast about their money and don't care about others but only give away to bump up their relativity. Also, you cannot assume that the commenter is in a position where they can give away as well when they could be going through a tough time financially as well. But, you are right about the fact that the commenter shouldn't really talk about something like this but that is what the comments are for, to talk about your thoughts and feelings. Also, don't take this as an angry clap back as others would do but I'm just calmly inserting myself in this very short discussion.
@@marcuspvxea ---- you are the only one being negative here, really. their comment was actually very relevant to the subject matter, while yours was extremely juvenile.
@@virg0_lem0nade It was not, it was completely unrelated. The comment had nothing to do with people having more money or spending their own money on what they want that they themselves earned completely rightfully And the only Juvenile thing here is crying that some people have more success in their lives than others. It won't be fair, wasn't fair, you weren't born equal to others, your genes arent fair, the economical household you were born into was not fair. You reap what you sow. Some just need to work harder or be smarter, nothing else to it

I'm a single mother who lives in Oklahoma. One year, I received a gift of a $300.00 Walmart gift card from a Secret Santa in Moore. I never knew that someone was looking out for us. For that I was so grateful. Because for that year I got to bring Christmas to my son. Unfortunately I was sick this past year and was unable to. But I will always be grateful for that kindness.
I’m in S FLorida and my parents are the age of this recipient. I was literally in tears. I imagine that many seniors may question the random generosity. I take many fraud / scam reports at my work and the majority are from unsuspecting seniors that may have been persuaded by scammers. My love and Support for your Secret Santa and his message. And BRAVO for this recipient for her questioning of “too good to be true “ nature. You showed two great lessons on this news report 🎄💕
Michael Xia my grandpa had a successful career, so much less than he potentially could have, but he was so confused and hurt that someone would do that.

Nate what a wonderful gift, you are a star! You are so respectful of the people you visit. I’m looking forward to watching more of your secret Santa’s it’s such a great pick you up in these dark times.
damn im rewatching these and you know if an older woman said this is the best Christmas shes ever had, you have really made an impact on her life, and its something she will cherish forever
We're planning a trip that will include stopping in Idaho Falls. Can't think of anything I'd like to do more than meet Nate. He brings so much joy to the recipients and to those of us that get to share by watching.
Nate this one got me 😢 was emotional to see how this lady thought it was a prank, showing her vulnerable side, but was so humble and thankful when she realised, you made her day, it's very touching what you guys do for everyone you help 👍
Don’t get rid of this host. Perfect volume, tone, doesn’t overdo it. Good Dude.
Agreed
100000%
Too right
He is a good man.
He is perfect. Love him!
The sad thing is that seniors are scammed so often - they don't know what's real and what's another scam.

I come back and watch this one every year. This one is my favorite. This woman’s reaction was so genuine
Me too. Diane is my favorite secret Santa receiver.
I don't blame her for being skeptical. 99 out of 100 times, if it sounds too good to be true it is. Lucky for her, this is that 1 time it is true.
So True...

She had me in tears. It is a bad time in the world when an older lady has to worry so much about a gift being a scam. That is so sad.

It's also relieving to know the elderly aren't falling for the tricks of those subhuman scum.

Agree with you. Im a bit sad. But glad she got these gifts.

These are so touching. She couldn't believe it was true, probably because she's had it hard. Still working at 77..
I love watching Nate Eaton give Secret Santa gifts. He's so humble, gentle, and kind. Secret Santa picked the best person to represent him.
To be delivering papers every morning at 77yo through good and bad weather is truly a testimony of such a deserving gift from the Secret Santa. ~Blessings~
I love this so much. She was really scared at first. So many are targeted.
yep it is called gangstalking
Brittney C yikes
Nates got a Mr Rogers vibe...He just oozes caring and compassion...
Please don’t ever bring up Mr. Rogers in reference to any good person. He was a pedophile.
SHE'S WAS THE SWEETEST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Diane your post meant the most to me, as i can identify with your living circumstances. So happy for you!
This lady is so genuine I wish I was her neighbor , I'd be helping her all the time
how normal people feel when they have worked hard for everything for their entire life.
and someone finally recognizes how difficult that is and provides some type of relief.
Nate just has this instinctive intuitive and compassionate ability to know how to adapt his message and gift giving to each recipient as they need.
How sweet. She is adorable
This lady was so deserving, so genuine I just loved her. Love from Ireland
I think it's unfortunate alot of our senior citizens have to work into their 70s and 80s to survive, I'm grateful that she has good health to keep doing what she's doing and didn't have a heart attack receiving her Christmas gifts, it's a clear reminder that if we know of a senior that is still working we should be looking out for them and help them as much as possible, two years ago my senior neighbor fell off the roof hanging Christmas lights and it's been my honor to take care of that task for him until he passes, it's the little things that will mean something someday.
Meanwhile Democrats put illegals ahead of our citizens.
@ what?
It's absurd, and sickening. Not, "unfortunate". And RESPECT to you, for taking care of your neighbor. If only everyone watched out for theirs
Nice, is that your name? My dad swears he worked with a guy with the last name pipes, named his son rusty.
Honestly, Nate could've informed her a bit better. I would've panicked a bit, too
@ I think you put the wrong channel on. You wanted Fox news didn't you not East Idaho News, moron.
This precious lady! I love her reaction!
Awww. ❤️ She’s sweet and so grateful. And her dogs were very skeptical, too.
😁 The dogs were not happy campers, it sounds exactly like my Shih Tzu and Maltese when someone is at the door.
No biscuit for the dogs
This is one of my all-time favorites. I can’t watch it enough times.
What an absolute sweetheart man. God bless this woman.
That is so, nice.
She's my route scheduler for Durham. She's a very sweet lady.
This really brings me a lot of joy. Faith in humanity restored.
Oh the onions 😭
They keep cutting them where I am. 😭
@@znrgybalance8703 yes!... they are here as well in full force... very good onions though...
I love the way Host. Reacts to the people..he does not look down. On the less fortunate ones. He supports them. By his calm heart touching tone of his voice. Bless all
I felt her gratitude, which worms my heart. Thank Secret Santa for me.
" New tires on my outfit" omg this woman gives me back life
When you're so use to struggling and it's hard to believe anything good can happen to you...poor sweetheart. 😢😢💔 so happy for her 🧡💛💚🎄🇦🇺
She’s so genuinely grateful. Bless her heart !! And Secret Santa
This woman was very smart when she decided to be cautious. Cashing a check from a stranger can cause numerous problems. I'm so glad she realized everything was real. I'm in my seventies and there are so many scam artists. Nate and Secret Santa have brought a lot of joy to people over the years.
So kind so touching
She really needed those gifts, bless the secret santa
Of all the stories I've watched, this one touched my soul. She's like: no I don't want anything. I think when she closed the door she still did not believe. YES VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUSE!!
This makes me miss my Grandma.
Nate is such a darling. The perfect man to deliver Secret Santa’s gifts! 🎁🎄 Merry Christmas everyone! 🤗 With love from Australia. 🇦🇺
I love her so much! God bless her!
God bless her. I'm 60 and would also be afraid to open my door to stranger's. Merry Christmas everyone 🎅
It truly is a sad world we live in.
I love how she was still hesitant and a little worried something was going to pop out of the 2nd box. What a sweet and beautiful woman. God bless her.
Sweet thing has lived 77 years and has apparently never ever seen humanity in this concept , she deserves this and much more .... God bless her and the Secret Santa ..... And also Nate and his team .
Love her ❤ watched this more than once ❤ 🏴 xx
Our hardworking seniors deserve this and so much more. It’s so sad that scammers out there target them so much. They deserve our love and support.
imagine the pain that lady has gone through in life for her to be that skeptical, I feel so bad for her, and happy at the same time that they helped her
I gotta say it one more time the man who gives the gifts out is the sweetest man! You can tell he really feels the Christmas spirit while he’s doing this! 🥰🥰🥰
This is one of my favorite reactions to secret Santa
thinkin' she was going to be a bit happier this year with less stress, she is precious... bless you secret Santa and EIN
I loved this episode.....You could tell that she isnt used to being given to...
you get the feeling she has never had an act of kindness given to her .She is a giver and wonderful to see her on the receiving end
My FAVORITE one!!
Poor lady is so confused. I just wanna hug her and her lil yapper.. Beautiful ending.. Bug hugs young lady.
This is why I get so mad at these freaking youtubers with stupid mansions made of legos and 10 super cars!!! 5000 is life changing for some and toilet paper for others! I will never understand why some people feel like they need so much.....smh. This was beautiful to watch, I just hope one day I can be lucky enough to be able to give like this!
Get mad at others for their success in life.
While you keep at it, lets blame everyone else who has arms and legs because some people doesnt have them or get born without them.
Life will never be fair, no matter how far up you can push yourself you might not even get close to what some make monthly.
Don't blame others living their life how they want to. Also you are able to give like this so don't go and put up excuses to why you can't.
It's really sad to take a video like this and make ur dumb and degenerate comment turning something happy into something negative.
they are not necessarily mad at their "success" they are mad at how they talk about their success. For example, a lot of celebrities talk and boast about their money and don't care about others but only give away to bump up their relativity.
Also, you cannot assume that the commenter is in a position where they can give away as well when they could be going through a tough time financially as well.
But, you are right about the fact that the commenter shouldn't really talk about something like this but that is what the comments are for, to talk about your thoughts and feelings. Also, don't take this as an angry clap back as others would do but I'm just calmly inserting myself in this very short discussion.
@@marcuspvxea ---- you are the only one being negative here, really. their comment was actually very relevant to the subject matter, while yours was extremely juvenile.
@@virg0_lem0nade It was not, it was completely unrelated.
The comment had nothing to do with people having more money or spending their own money on what they want that they themselves earned completely rightfully
And the only Juvenile thing here is crying that some people have more success in their lives than others.
It won't be fair, wasn't fair, you weren't born equal to others, your genes arent fair, the economical household you were born into was not fair.
You reap what you sow. Some just need to work harder or be smarter, nothing else to it
Syphex ----- some people certainly do need to be smarter, and you're up high on that list... 😂
The most genuine response I've seen on the secret santa videos
Oh, those dogs were too much. That lady was so nice😊
_Nate is great ... his goodness is naturally showing! May he be blessed, too!_
"If your name is taken and people say..Oh she's so nice! Oh he's so sweet! You know you're doing something right and they will add their prayers and blessings to your life."-Maya Angelou
Nate seems so genuine and kind. 🇨🇦
Ok….I think I cried the hardest at this one, more than all the others I’ve enjoyed watching. SO MOVING ❤
I'm a single mother who lives in Oklahoma. One year, I received a gift of a $300.00 Walmart gift card from a Secret Santa in Moore. I never knew that someone was looking out for us. For that I was so grateful. Because for that year I got to bring Christmas to my son. Unfortunately I was sick this past year and was unable to. But I will always be grateful for that kindness.
I meant to say unable to.
She had me in tears. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I’m in S FLorida and my parents are the age of this recipient. I was literally in tears. I imagine that many seniors may question the random generosity. I take many fraud / scam reports at my work and the majority are from unsuspecting seniors that may have been persuaded by scammers. My love and Support for your Secret Santa and his message. And BRAVO for this recipient for her questioning of “too good to be true “ nature. You showed two great lessons on this news report 🎄💕
Laura Rodino-posenato that's unfortunate of them, like how did they get scammed by scammers?
Fight Milk jeez, how much did he lost?
Michael Xia my grandpa had a successful career, so much less than he potentially could have, but he was so confused and hurt that someone would do that.
Fight Milk people these days..... greedy and ignorant
Laura Rodino-posenato A friends relative who is super frugal with her money , fell for the “ your granddaughter is in jail and needs bail money. She is a widow , she wired twenty- five thousand dollars to criminals . 🧛♂️
I love how these good people are being helped..
Brings tears to my eyes!
Now this video was great she really was happy to get such a great gift.
Nate what a wonderful gift, you are a star! You are so respectful of the people you visit. I’m looking forward to watching more of your secret Santa’s it’s such a great pick you up in these dark times.
To the secret Santa: thank you for helping out those who really need it god bless
Secret Santa = Frank VanderSloot
You can search all his video TH-cam ;)
damn im rewatching these and you know if an older woman said this is the best Christmas shes ever had, you have really made an impact on her life, and its something she will cherish forever
God Bless the secret Santa. What a wonderful person.
We're planning a trip that will include stopping in Idaho Falls. Can't think of anything I'd like to do more than meet Nate. He brings so much joy to the recipients and to those of us that get to share by watching.
What a wonderful blessing witb a happy ending to it I always enjoy watching these happy holiday stories they are such a blessing
I loved her reaction,she was totally shocked. Nate was great with her too.x
Nate this one got me 😢 was emotional to see how this lady thought it was a prank, showing her vulnerable side, but was so humble and thankful when she realised, you made her day, it's very touching what you guys do for everyone you help 👍
He’s very good at this he’s perfect not too loud or over the top
I know this is from a few years ago but I really hope this lovely lady had a great Christmas!!
Awww, I think she finally realized it wasn’t a hoax when he mentioned the washer and dryer. Whoever the Secret Santa is bless you.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
