Before my nephew and nieces were born, I was all about them having name brand things. Toys, flashiness they wouldn’t even remember as babies. I always said I’d spoil them so much. Now? I just wanna make sure they have a nice winter coat. I’d rather buy them a nice winter coat, and a few cheap toys that they’ll be just as excited over. Or making sure they have quality clothes, over brand names because they can pass them down or donate them, whereas some name brand are..rather cheaply made. Your priorities definitely change when you have any sort of parental role over kids. You worry about if their mittens are warm enough, or if they’ve got enough food in the house. Priorities change. You wanna make them happy, sure, spoil them even. But needs comes first and you’re actually aware and able to see what the needs even are.
Thank you everyone for the sweet comments and words of encouragement. Abby and Alejandro and I appreciate it so much! We’d love to hear where everyone is from. We love seeing how far from Idaho this has reached. Much love ❤❤❤
David, thank you for taking care of Abby and Alejandro, you show what a great human being is all about, loving and kindness. Secret Santa program pop up one day on my TH-cam and I started to watch it. This is such a great show that makes me start to learn how to appreciate life and the people around me. Thank you and please take care. Wish all of you have a wonderful life. Be happy and be healthy. Ian from San Francisco.❤❤❤
Taking in your niece and nephew to raise them on your own, and to make sure they have a great life. And you working so hard to show them that you love them unconditionally. Shows what kind of heart and a man you are. Very well deserved. Congratulations on behalf of North Dakota!! Keep doing what your doing ❤
In my book, this is a real man. He does his best to raise the children. God Bless him and the entire family. Rest in peace Mom and Dad and his Mom too.
I hope he can read the beautiful comments that are written in here. Love is so important. And little given beautiful messages that are given to him through those gifts are so pure love that it makes us cry. To see him crying from being told he is doing something so grate through the love he is giving to his niece and his nephew is so amazing. All this is just pure love. Your love for these 2 children is more than enough, it is an amazing and wonderful and extraordinary gift you are giving them! Thank you for taking care of your adopted children, dad. You are their real dad now.
He may not be the biological father, but I would imagine for him and the kids, they are family of the heart, and because of that these kids know they are loved and supported. To me, that’s the best kind of parenting you can give a kid.
@@karenmilligan5597- That part was clear, I think you missed the point that raising children is tough enough, but adopting the responsibility when not initially planned is a big loving gesture and compounding responsibility.
@stinkstank5177 I thought, by the way the comment was worded, that the commenter missed that part. I know all about it because I was raised by my grandmother after tragedy occurred within my parents' life when I was five years old. I was responding to Beth Rogers' comment mostly before anyone else responded. This could apply for the original commenter too.
Those kids are his flesh and blood by his brother or sister. Don’t get it twisted with a woman that opens her legs and tricks someone to raise the kids.
He learned from his mother, who took these young children in. She was a beautiful mother who taught her son the value of people. Mom did a great job raising this young man.
That's right!!! Ladies!!! Ya wonder "where" the "good men" are??? TAKE A F****** LOOK!!!! HERE GOES ONE, RIGHT HERE!!! THIS IS WHAT WE, REAL MEN, DO!!! ALL THE DAMN TIME!!!!
Ditto. Me 3 in 🇨🇦. This gentle, unassuming man shoulders the responsibility of a niece and nephew, showing how strong his family values are. Wonderful! Thanks, too, to Secret Santa for helping to lighten this uncle's financial burden.❤❤❤
Man I just saw this and I'm in tears. They always say that good things come to good people!! I'm sure your mom is looking down on you with a HUGHE smile!!!
When he started crying I almost lost it. What a humble young man to take care of his niece and nephew & sacrifice so much. God bless him & thank you Secret Santa for lifting his burden a bit.
Not only did he lose his sibling, the parents of the children, but hes taking on their grief too, going from a single man income to guardian of two cannot be easy. This made me tear up he seemed so grateful and deserving 🥹
This one made me cry. He seems like a really great guy that deserves this help. I am sure everyone watching could tell he appreciated the gifts so much.
What a remarkable man…To selflessly take on 2 kids is so inspiring. I don’t even have words to express my admiration! God Bless him & YOU Secret Santa. 🤍🙏🏻🎅🏻
Bless you. I raised my grandsons and let me tell you I received back much more than I gave. Best thing that ever happened to me. Western North Carolina
To the Secret Santa: Thank you for helping this young man out for Christmas. This man definitely does deserve it. They picked out a great family. Merry Christmas and God bless you all! 💖💖💖💖💖
David, you are a true hero. You yourself are a young man and to take on the responsibility of "dad" for your niece and nephew says a lot about how you were raised. You aren't just raising them you are finding the time to invest in their futures. Caring about their grades and extracurricular activities shows them you are interested in their hobbies. It is rough now but your hard work and sacrifices will be well worth it.
This one really got me. You could see and feel the sincere gratitude and appreciation this man felt. With each act of kindness and generosity y’all are restoring my faith in humanity. 🎅♥️💫
What an incredible young man. His mother must have been a very special woman to raise such a son. I hope his family has the best of everything in the years to come.
Oh my God, Im in love with this guy David. He is going through rough times and Secret Santa gifts just arrive in time to easen his troubled thoughts about his nephews and nieces.
That Young Man has a heart of Gold. He definitely was raised right. He is a perfect example of what it looks like to Pay it Forward. Bless his heart. ✝️🙏🥰🥰🥰
If I can see through my tears, I just have to wish David, his niece and nephew a blessed Christmas! Such a humble young man !! Great pick Secret Santa and EIN !
Well there's no mention of the mother and father dying, just the grandma, so it's likely the mother and father are pieces of shit while the brother takes care of their children@@JeanetteFaith
I am from Texas and every year I watch I wish there was more people like the secret santa there in Idaho around the world in every state that felt the need and want to help those that are less fortunate or struggling
Everyone is in a position to do a little something. Some people just need someone to give them a kind word. I believe one of Secret Santa's goals is for others to consider how they can help others. In the shape our country is in now, that's going to be how we turn the ship. Best Wishes. Happy Holidays from a fellow Texan.
Oh, my dear... what a cutie, good man, with a great smile! You could tell how much he appreciate everything!! I wish him and his niece and nephew the best that life has to offer!!
This is such a heartwarming story. David thank you for raising two special kids from the next generation. We need more men like you in this world. Love from Canada.
May God bless this young man. Can you even imagine, one day you have your mom there for you to depend on and in an instant she is gone, and you have two young ones now depending on you? This young man shows what true character really is. Thank you, Secret Santa, for easing his burden here at Christmas time. Thanks to you, Nate and helpers for delivering the gifts. Merry Christmas from Texas to everyone. 🙏❤🎄🎅
I'm going to have to start getting a box of tissues when I watch these videos. I absolutely love these. Thank u Nate n ur crew. N secret Santa God bless u all
Awwww. That’s a dad. My dad chose to be my dad (adopted me), and I will be forever grateful for the love he didn’t have to shower on me. Merry Christmas, David and kids.
I pray God blesses this man and his niece & nephew. Taking on these children on his own is a huge task and responsibility, and he seems to take pride in it.
Who cried because I sure do ❤❤
Nah not me no 🙂well maybe just a little.
🙋🏻♀️
@@clendon5 😂😂
Yes, cried, that young man stepping up, amazing ❤️🌸
Right here with ya on that, Everytime I see Nate I know to get the tissues..😂
He is not an Uncle to those kids. He is a father. Inspiring.
ScienceSleuths89, he is dad, God dad, and uncle all rolled into one. Man tears and man 🫂 huggos @ the end of this heart❤️🔥warming video.
Any man can father a child - but it takes a real man to become a daddy
The kids were his mom's niece & nephew so he's their cousin really - but yea a dad for sure and a good one it seems.
If his mother passed away they are his brother and sister..
Both kids will be with him forever no matter how old they are. This man sacrificed a lot for them. Love all the way. ❤❤❤
Wish I was independently wealthy, I'd make it my habit to go bless peeps like this.
Amen!!!
It's usually the evil ones that are wealthy😞
Thats a nice thing to say.
This is so nice of you to say this! I would to!
Watching in the UK. Feeling very emotional after watching that. This guy is a hero for sure his family would be so proud of him.
Real man taking care of his family !
He is a real hero a real man...❤from Mississippi 😊Thank you secret Santa 😊
You know a person is a "dad" when groceries, clothes and footwear is are what gets him emotional
The most important things in life! He knows!
Yes💞

In my book, this is a real man. He does his best to raise the children. God Bless him and the entire family. Rest in peace Mom and Dad and his Mom too.
You could just see how overwhelmed and appreciative this man was.
He had such a happy, positive smile, and as he opened his gifts, you could see some of his stress bleeding off of him.
How old is he?
G d 🙌 him n the children.
🙏bless this guy and his family
His mom raised a good man and the pressure is great, but he’s doing the best he can. 😢
God bless him! He is doing a wonderful thing for his niece and nephew and he is so young himself.
I'm in the UK and love watching these. The secret santa is an absolute treasure. Such a lovely thing to do. 😊
So true lynne. Please send me some tuna this Christmas
I hope he can read the beautiful comments that are written in here.

His mama raised him right. He has turned into a real man. The world needs more just like him.
@compunurse.... and more Mama's to raise their boys as well! I am one of those Mama's.
The world needs to be like him
Thank you
@@davidsilva7563 No, thanks to you David! Non, merci à vous David !
Seriously yes we really, realy. We are in very short supply of real men!
It's heart warming when one good person helps another. God bless you all.
He isn't just an Uncle. That's a real Dad, right there. Merry Christmas to him and his family. Thank you Santa.
He didn't plant the seeds but he has turned out to be be one hell of a gardener.
@@PaulaDautremontnicely worded❤
@@malina1239 TY. It was based off of something my father once said. "It does not matter who plants the seed, but who tends the garden."🌼🌼🌼🌼
He more than earned that "promotion" from uncle to daddy. This did bring a few tears to my eyes.
It’s not the gifts sometimes, it’s the recognition of silently doing a great job. Well done Secret Santa.
God bless David and those children, as well as those who donated these gifts to them.
A good man cries. Thank you to Secret Santa for giving him the strength to live on and appreciate life.
that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Everybody reacts differently to situations. Clearly you are a very judgemental person
I think god gives him strength and secret Santa gave him some awesome encouragement to keep going ❤
Merry Christmas to this wonderful chap xx
I guess that makes me a good man then. Currently crying. Bless him and his family.
Yes just never in front a woman
His reaction is perfect. It's hard raising your own kids but to raise kids that aren't yours. This man is a special person.
He may not be the biological father, but I would imagine for him and the kids, they are family of the heart, and because of that these kids know they are loved and supported. To me, that’s the best kind of parenting you can give a kid.
It is his niece and nephew it is not like they aren't related. I'm sure he had a deep love for them before the accident.

Amen. Thank you Father God for GOOD people.
He genuinely loves and cares for his family...some fathers don't even look after their own children...this young man is an absoloute hero!!!!
So true, this man is an amazing man, really great to see something nice happen to good people too.
He's more of a _Dad_ than most biological fathers.
>man sacrifices himself
>you: wow men suck most times
Kek. You just couldn't help yourself, could you Karen?
Incentivized by the evil state.
A lot of fathers don’t and it’s fricken disgusting
Stepping up like a good role model. No one can predict when a tragedy will occur. God Bless!❤
Thank you Secret Santa, Nate & EIN. Bless David for watching over his niece and nephew. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
That is a true and proper definition of a man right there. Taking care of children that aren't even his own. Absulute props to him
I mean yes he is doing the right thing, but he’s their Uncle….this is his job. I’d do the same for my nephew. This is the way of the Uncle.
That's right-a REAL man!
A generous ❤
Those kids are his flesh and blood by his brother or sister.
Don’t get it twisted with a woman that opens her legs and tricks someone to raise the kids.
Not his own? But they are his nephew and niece. They are his siblings children.
Awww .... What a deserving young man!!
He learned from his mother, who took these young children in. She was a beautiful mother who taught her son the value of people. Mom did a great job raising this young man.
He’s setting a wonderful example for his niece and nephew,too.
When a grown man cries over the groceries cards….heart of gold and obviously feeling blessed.
What selfless young man to take of his niece and nephew. The gift you gave them Secret S was wonderful.
This is the definition of a real man, helping others before he helps himself. 🙏
Amen to that 🙏. What an amazing man who deserves to be appreciated for what he's doing for these children.
A man is always a man. Their are no fake men just men and males.
That's right!!! Ladies!!! Ya wonder "where" the "good men" are??? TAKE A F****** LOOK!!!! HERE GOES ONE, RIGHT HERE!!!
THIS IS WHAT WE, REAL MEN, DO!!! ALL THE DAMN TIME!!!!
Kudos to David. You will be rewarded.
Well said mate!
He’s more than an uncle, he’s an angel🙏🏿❤️
Your mother would be so proud of you. Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and the helpers.
Prayers for this young man and his niece and nephew.
Amen. May they always see Christ's provision.
This gentleman is amazing !
Thank you Secret Santa and East Idaho News for blessing all of these people at Christmas!
I'll admit it....I am crying. What a fine young man. Well done Secret Santa!
Yep got to me too😢😊
Ditto. Me 3 in 🇨🇦. This gentle, unassuming man shoulders the responsibility of a niece and nephew, showing how strong his family values are. Wonderful! Thanks, too, to Secret Santa for helping to lighten this uncle's financial burden.❤❤❤
Me 4 😢 he's a real man.
You can count me in on that too. When he broke down crying so did I.
Me too.,❤😢
Man I just saw this and I'm in tears. They always say that good things come to good people!! I'm sure your mom is looking down on you with a HUGHE smile!!!
When he started crying I almost lost it. What a humble young man to take care of his niece and nephew & sacrifice so much. God bless him & thank you Secret Santa for lifting his burden a bit.
I bet he had a good cry after they left...the relief must be awesome.
Not only did he lose his sibling, the parents of the children, but hes taking on their grief too, going from a single man income to guardian of two cannot be easy. This made me tear up he seemed so grateful and deserving 🥹
Dang, I really cried with this one. Merry Christmas everyone and may God Bless Secret Santa!
I did too thank you Secret Santa😢
Same here😢😢😢❤
yup this one got me at the end
Me too
Same 😢
This young man is an amazing example to us all. God bless him .
He’s a HERO.
We can’t all take in orphans but we can support those who do! Much respect for this Uncle/Dad.
My Heart is so warm and fuzzy from watching this. He seems like a great man!!
Yes, definitely!
Thoroughly deserving of the Secret Santa visit…… what a guy. If he hasn’t got a partner currently, I think he will attract a lot of admirers! ❤
Agreed! He deserves a great partner!
This one made me cry. He seems like a really great guy that deserves this help. I am sure everyone watching could tell he appreciated the gifts so much.
A beautiful, humble, kind, and polite young man. He deserves everything for what he is doing. Thank you, Secret Santa, and thank you, Nate.⚘️
God bless him on this long journey of being there for his niece and nephew!!
Well, that made me cry! Nice young man! Thanks, Secret Santa!
The JOY of Christmas. What a deserving young man.
The look on his face was pure appreciation but the look in his heart was relief. Thank you Secret Santa
What a remarkable man…To selflessly take on 2 kids is so inspiring. I don’t even have words to express my admiration!
God Bless him & YOU Secret Santa. 🤍🙏🏻🎅🏻
Bless you. I raised my grandsons and let me tell you I received back much more than I gave. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Oh wow. This made me cry. What an amazing young man
That's a REAL MAN ❤😢❤
The mother of her children is smiling from the heaven on this day and every day. May His face shine upon them.
it's his mother. i would assume their mother is an unfit parent since they were living with their grandma before she died
@@molls127Don't assume.
Well there's no mention of the mother and father dying, just the grandma, so it's likely the mother and father are pieces of shit while the brother takes care of their children@@JeanetteFaith

Yep. He's had to suppress those emotions for a while.
Good people makes life worth living.
