  • Nikkie Schwemmer is a single mother of three adorable children. She lives in a humble home that is in need of many upgrades. Her tub has water constantly running from the tap, her toilet floods frequently, her roof has multiple holes that cause water to leak into the house and several other repairs are needed.
    To add to this, Nikkie’s car died just a few days ago. She has needed a new vehicle for quite some time but has not been able to afford it. She is now borrowing her parents vehicle, but this is just a temporary fix to a permanent problem.
    Nikkie’s friends say she would give her shirt off her back to anyone, and she sees the positive in every person she meets. Her co-workers can’t say enough good things about her and she just need a break.
    Secret Santa decided to give Nikkie the ultimate Christmas gift, so he sent the EastIdahoNews.com elves over with a present Nikkie and her kids will never forget.
    Watch the video above to see how the surprise went down!

    "I promise to watch only one more, then I have things to do." That promise has been broken 12 times in a row. And I still have things to do.

    For so many people out there, the cost of a reliable car is pocket change, yet it can mean so much in the life of someone who is struggling. What a wonderful way for 'haves' to make a huge change in the lives of a 'have-nots.'

  • @thedonleroy
    @thedonleroy 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That must be a good feeling to be able to help someone in need out like that. It doesn't always have to be something big either. On Christmas Eve day 2018 I was having a bad day. Things weren't going very well & I was down & decided to go through the drive thru at a local fast food restaurant & call it a day. It was busy & the lane I chose to order in was having issues & a pickup that pulled in behind me got served first & that didn't improve my mood any. I finally got to the window to pay for my food & handed the cashier my credit card. She handed my card & receipt back & said Merry Christmas the car in front payed for your food & told me to tell you Merry Christmas. I was speechless for a second but luckily was able to lean out my window & thank the lady in the truck & wish her Merry Christmas back. That gesture made my day & my Christmas. I had a smile on my face the rest of the day. SO even a small gesture makes a big difference.

    As a fan of "Psych" myself, I love the fact that she was wearing the pineapple shirt and her little girl asked if it was their "Blueberry"! I'm not from Idaho, so I am not sure how your Secret Santa works, but I pray God pours out a special blessing to those who donate.
