The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season. This is the ninth year the Secret Santa is blessing people in our community and every day, from now until the end of the year, we will post videos of the recipients being surprised with these life-changing gifts.
Whitney has three young children including 9-month-old Charlie. In August, Charlie began having seizures and was rushed from Madison Memorial Hospital to EIRMC to Primary Children’s Hospital. She was put on a number of medications to stop the seizures and ease her pain. She was put through countless tests, blood draws and X-rays with no answers from any doctors.
Eventually Charlie was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder. It will require a lot of doctor's appointments in Utah and Idaho Falls, about 40 minutes from their St. Anthony home.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves if we could drop by Whitney's home with some early Christmas gifts. Watch the surprise in the video player above!

Iam in East afrika especially Ethiopia I watch every day your TV I liked how you help your town people I hope a day in our county will be like yours in Sha alaah
❤❤❤Bless you in Ethiopia, God's Ark of the Covenant is in a chapel that the angels built around it so that it's safe in that region. We hope you can journey there some day. Thanks for writing ❤❤❤
Peace and bless you
I hope that dream comes true soon. Sending you lots of hugs! ❤😊
Welcome from NE Pennsylvania
❤❤❤❤❤
All you have to do is watch this video to realize our "problems" are NOTHING compared to others' plights.
I'm sending prayers and healing vibes for this precious little one.
That was my thought exactly after watching yesterday's video.
Amen..I thought the same, grateful and blessed. Merry Christmas to this beautiful family
We all have problems, and while they shouldn't be diminished, you are so right. I would take my problems any day over what this lovely mom and baby are going through. Perspective.
Exactly this! I have been stressing this week and we have a leaky roof. But we have the funds to fix it and it's all in hand. Absolutely nothing compared to the situations of some on here. Sometimes you just need a bit of perspective.
yes they are as bad as
Who ever is this secret Santa I wish you you should become a billionaire you are amazing what you do
These are always a joy. They get posted at 7am in the U.K. so it’s such a wonderful positive thing to start the day with.
❤ Yesterday, I donated hundreds of dollars worth of children's books about animals and insects to a local children's hospital. I also gave some Christmas gifts like girls jewelry and boys some beautiful snow globes, journals and one handmade turtle backpack and one handmade horse purse. It made everything special to me that I could give some happiness like this news organization does ❤
Bless you, sister.🙏 Our Lord sees everything and will reward you (and those like you), who give freely from the heart.❤ 🙏 😇
Wonderful idea!
Im from Estonia and i just love what East Idaho News and Secret Santa is doing to people in need. Heartwarming and teardropper :)
Wow!
Our first exchange student is from Estonia! She is in Tallinn, we still think about her at least once a week & every time I see someone talk about Estonia I think of her.
That's what Christmas is supposed to be about. Rather than spending a load of money on spoiled children when others are struggling. Love you Nate!❤
I'm praying over this little one! If you believe in prayer please join me!
The little one has a very serious illness indeed so that mom will have many years of continual hospital appointments. May we all keep them in your prayers.
Thanks for making the stressful holidays a little better for these people who are seriously in need.
I have a granddaughter named Charley, and I will be praying for this precious child!
Life is a Struggle for Many and I’m Glad to See that Secret Santa Cares and Loves these Recipients and Wants to Help them. GOD Bless! 👍🙏
As a dad, myself, I know, first-hand, this momma's pain!!! To see her and, her children get blessed, like this is a heart-warming, tear-jerker!!! Makes me feel EXTREMELY grateful for my petty, little issues!!! Sending prayers to her and, her children from Riverhead, Long Island, New York!!!
I know her!
She’s the sweetest and deserves this❤️
The gas and grocery cards as well as the check will help this family so much. Praying for little Charlie and for the family. Secret Santa you are the best. Thank you, Nate and helpers, for getting the gifts to the people.❤🎅
To Secret Santa. Thank you for your generosity. It has helped so many in true need. Thank you Nate and elves also.
You can tell just how needed these gifts are when the recipient cries. ❤❤❤
A gesture can meean so much in just having a moment where you dont have to think about the procedures for the little one. Now that they know what it is they can try and find a way to battle it to make it easier for Charlie.
God bless. Love from 🇮🇳 India
Oh this poor mum, with her precious sick baby girl. This gift from Secret Santa will make their Christmas a little easier. Bless that precious baby, I pray they can find a way to help her autoimmune issues. 🙏🏻
Thank you Secret Santa for your generosity, Nate and EIN for your dedication to helping Secret Santa make so many lives a little asker this Christmas 🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🤶🏻🎄🎄🎄🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
IN JESUS NAME.
AMEN.
🙏🙏❤️
What a beautiful lady and cute kiddos!!
Thanks for helping them out, Secret Santa; you can tell it meant a lot to her!
I don't like to see people crying, but this is a good cry! Love to her and her children! Thank you, secret Santa! I have a hard time watching those kids stand at the door when it is so cold! Love to you all! These are my favorite things to watch on TH-cam!
I love seeing people get help that are in need. The secret santa is a very special person. Thank you who ever you are.
Adding prayers for baby and family. Thank you Secret Santa for helping this family. God Bless
Not a dry eye in the house!
Thank You Secret Santa 🎅 for helping this young family!
I pray for good health for Charlie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every morning it’s coffee and watching Secret Santa!! Thank you Secret Santa for your love ❤!
Good morning! ☕️ Me too. 😊
Most of us have nothing to complain about. Thank you SS for blessing this family. Lord God, I pray You pour out Your healing power upon this child.
That is so nice that Santa is helping people.
I automatically press like button before i even play the videos. For Secret Santa.❤
Praying for them. Secret Santa and you guys give light to this world every day.❤
Prayers go out too the family ❤️🙏😇
I am glad the new mom got some help. Prayers for her and her family and kids. Glad Secret Santa helped the family. God bless her and her family and kids and Nate and news crew and their families.
What a beautiful family! Love and prayers to them and wishes for helping answers for Charlie.
Oh, thank you, Secret Santa!
I couldn't imagine my little girl being sick like that.😢
I pray for healing for this little girl and peace for the family! ❤ And a very merry Christmas ❤️
That was sweet.
And she said all that with a big smile. God bless her
This is going to leave such a deep positive impressions in the toddlers’ minds. Love expressed goes a long way. Thank you very much Secret Santa, as always. ❤
Thank you so much for being here to help
God bless this lady and her family and Nate and his elves and secret santa too.
Oh my, prayers for that precious little baby and her mother, with two other little ones who also need her attention. Secret Santa's gift should help to ease their burden so now they can focus attention on the more important needs.
I am a mom, grandma and great grandma from NH that looks forward to seeing Secret Santa every year from East Idaho News. I cry happy tears all the way through it.
Glad that they have answers for the illness that the little girl suffers from. Hopefully these gifts lift some of the financial burden on the family. I pray 🙏 for her healing.
The lady who is going out with you is a kind kind person. Her empathy shows when you are saying what the problems are with the receiver - in more than one clip.
My niece has exactly the same disease.. it takes a while to diagnose but means lots of bloods and lots of IV’s as oral antibiotics tend not to work. It’s good that Charlie got it at a young age as infancy autoimmune neutropenia is possible to grow out of. But also there’s a possibility of needing a bone marrow transplant if things don’t improve
Beautiful children so deserving cheers Mxas🎉
My cousin’s daughter battled neutropenia as a baby. The good news is today she is healthy and about to graduate from law school!
How many of us wish we had a large amount of money just so we could also be a Secret Santa to those struggling with health issues, natural disasters, and the like?
It's not that we want to be rich so as to indulge ourselves, but to use the money to help relieve the struggles and suffering of others, and to demonstrate that they are seen and cared about.
I am NOT crying. Someone is cutting onions. That was beautiful. Thank you Secret Santa for inspiring us to touch lives.
Nate! When i need a good cry. I just know where to come. These secret Santa are overwhelmingly emotional. God Bless and heal sweet Charley
What a sweet lady. Man oh man does she have her hands full or what!?! These gifts were so perfect for them. I wish them the best in health, happiness & prosperity for the future.
Adorable Little family. I'm so happy SS could make their holidays that much sweeter !!!
Aww, I hope her little one sees better times. Tysm 4 all you do! 💓
Thank you secret Santa.
Secret Santa is the best part of my morning. This one hit home today. Neutropenia is very serious. My daughter has cyclic neutropenia. It took until she was 4 years old to be diagnosed by a bone marrow biopsy. I pray they have a good insurance plan as the medication is thousands of dollars per month. Started at 15,000 per month and 12 years later is 7,500 per month. The hospital admissions are scary when having to be on Vancomycin IV to treat the infections. This stuff is so strong it can burn the veins so they can’t leave the IV in the same place. I truly have this family and that sweet baby in my prayers.
Love secret Santa and his generosity!!!
God bless you wonderful people who are the Secret Santa, I cried when I just watched it, I am happy for all that you do. AMEN🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Prayers for that family... Thanks Secret Santa for helping them.
This was so heartwarming. I am very happy for this Mom and her family. Prayers for them!!🙏🙏💖✝️

Always brings happy tears to my eyes... I live across the Idaho border in a small town of less than 4k. I farm a small lot of 20 acres. Washington State Loves EIN and SS...
And...sending prayers and well-wishes to Secret Santa. May God protect him/her and bless the family always.
This just touches my heart so deeply!!! I wake up and cannot wait to watch who gets blessed!!!! Thank you God for providing for this special family and thank you our sweet, precious and amazing secret Santa.
With everything going on in the world, watching these videos keeps hope in humanity. Thank you Secret Santa and Nate!
God bless you East Idaho News and Secret Santa.
I was so so happy to see the first secret Santa pop up in October! Watching this series is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I always say a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful, generous person who touches so many lives at the end of each one. I hope this thouperson is also watching the videos 💕
My youngest son has neutropenia and it’s such an exhausting process. We were blessed to live right down the road from the top specialist in the world for the disease. Dr newburger. I wish this family all the best going forward. My son actually grew out of the disease by the time he was 3, I hope the same happens here and sweet Charlie and go on to live a normal healthy life!!
It’s so heartwarming to see a stranger help a sweet young lady and her family!! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🙏🏻💞🎄
Beautiful, Father bless this precious child and her family...they all deserve it....bless secret Santa
Adorable Family. Hoping for a better future for the sweet Little Girl and her family.
Such a wonderful gift. She doesn’t have to worry about food and gas for a while, which hopefully will ease her stress and she will be able to concentrate on the important things, her children.
Merry Christmas Whitney🎄 You have a beautiful family🥰 In Jesusʻ name, Charlee is healed💜 Sending you warm blessings and aloha from Hilo, Hawaiʻi🌺🎄🎄🎄
I'm from New York State, but I love these.
I absolutely love watching every single delivery that Nate and his amazing crew make! What a true angel Secret Santa is and Nate and the crew are the perfect people to make Santa's delivery. Merry Christmas a little early from me :)
Beautiful babies… many prayers for a very happy Christmas holidays
My goodness, she's got her hands full. No doubt those generous gifts will lift a burden and allow Whitney to focus more on what's important. 🤍
In the name of all the people secret santa’s had help and for the ones it will help God bless you a trillion times
