The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season. Every day, from now until Christmas, we will post videos of the recipients being surprised with these life-changing gifts.
Jen is a sixth grade teacher and shares custody of her three kids with her ex-husband.
In September, her oldest child Brylee was admitted into EIRMC for pneumonia. Over the next few days, her symptoms became worse and her kidneys started to have issues. She was flown to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake where doctors determined she had a form of Vasculitis called GPA.
Jen had to take a leave of absence from her teaching job and stay with Brylee in Utah. Brylee has been in and out of the hospital and had a few procedures and surgeries. It's a long road to recovery and Jen is working to figure out what's next after taking a leave of absence from her job.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves if we could pay Jen a visit to drop off some early Christmas gifts. She was tough to catch but once we did, it was a pleasure meeting her. Check out the surprise in the video player above!

That young man sure does love his mom. You can see it in his eyes.
Thanks for another wonderful cry Secret Santa.
God bless you and prayers for you all.
... yep, this one really got me, too...
You can see how much the older boy is so pleased and caring for his mother.
I do not think the younger brother is neglected at all, just that the older boy understands the magnitude of the gift.
Absolutely and he's a great kid. But the other kid needs a big hug too!!!
@@timp1390 it seems the second kid is kind of neglected
@@philipmervin6967 omg stop it
Oh the love of a child. My heart is full once again.
@@philipmervin6967 If you have any decency in you, you'd delete this negative comment. That boy is just fine. Do you want his mother to read your mean comment? I hope not.
The way the mom and son looked at each other says how much hope secret santa has given to them.
Yes very kind kid,. Kids these days go thru so much more than us old ones ever did
Yes!! ❤️❤️❤️
that kid is great!
Yes! 💯 I meant to make a comment about the joy on his face when he saw how much this meant to his mother! Very mature Secret Keeper too 😉
That boy is her rock
That boy was freaking adorable, making sure his mom would look good on TV. What a sweet family, so well deserved. Many get well wishes to the daughter - 2023 will be much better!
That was the best!!! He didn't ruin the surprise but wanted mom to look great! And she did!!
Amen! Happy Thanksgiving everyone that loves these videos. 🙏🥰🙏
That young man will have a long and successful life. He has his priorities straight. 😀
Now that is an amazing gift! To be worry free for a year. Amazing!
I thought that too, you can tell there's a lot of love in the family anyway but then he just was thoughtful of him mum on top of that.
Wow, her oldest son impressed me when he so genuinely thanked the woman who gave him a ride home and further impressed me by keeping a secret, making sure mom looked good on camera, and then gazing at her lovingly as he gently offered her support and kind affirming words, what a gem of a human being, way to go Jen, you are raising him right!! Also Nate and crew, as well as Secret Santa you guys make my holiday season every year, I am such a huge fan, thanks for making this world a little brighter!
Perfectly said!
The oldest child is who suffer all that happened at home always
@@sylviarivas741 Someday he will make her proud.He reminds me of my son when he was his age.It's a long, hard road but brighter days will come as it came for us.God bless this family, Secret Santa and Nate and his crew.With love from Trinidad and Tobago.
yup, that boy is amazing
Very mature for his age.
Her son is so in tune with her, what an empathetic child. I hope her daughter feels well soon.
Awesome gifts!
That kid is wise beyond his years! What a deserving family!❤️
He's a thoughtful soul, there's a lot of love in that family, you can see.
That little boy knows exactly what they are going through and how much this helps means to them he is so mature. Thank you guys for helping them.
I never ever get tired of watching vids & these wonderful gifts for such deserving people. Cannot believe those kids kept the secret, but made sure Mom looked good for the camera. Lol…that was great! Best healthful year for this family ❤
Outstanding Secret Santa! The 2 boys appear to be great kids (we made sure mom looked good on camera😂) and mom, well, you can see the relief wash over her. Prayers to her daughter for a healthier and happier New Year to come. God Bless
Very well said 💜
The way the son looks up at his mom when they open each gift brought tears to my eyes.
Hello how are you doing?
Those kids are so polite and thoughtful
What a son!! I mean everyone should have someone look at them that way. Just shows what an amazing mom she is!!
OMG this boy just melted my heart! What a sweet sensitive soul. Nothing like a good old secret Santa cry before bed. 🎅🏻❤
“We WILL find you, JEN!” Aggressively generous is how I like my Secret Santa deliveries 😂🎅🏽
This is one of my favorites. Another obviously deserving recipient, what an awesome mom! ❤
Secret Santa does it again. You can tell how much this lady appreciates the gifts and the young man in blue seems to be her rock through all of this. All the kids look to be great kids. Thank you, Secret Santa, Nate and helper elves. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from Texas! 🙏🏼🎅🎄
I literally end up ugly crying after these. This never gets old. Such a sweet lady. That young man sure loves his momma and wanted to make sure she was ready for this surprise. Great kids. Thank you Secret Santa!
I know that look. The way he looks up at his mom and just observing her while she's so happy, you can see that it makes him happy too, not the gift itself, but he's happy that his mom is so incredibly happy. i love that.
When her son said “That will be helpful.”, I just lost it. Such a deserving family. What great children keeping such a big, exciting secret for so long!
❤❤❤ Secret 🎅🏼, Nate, and his helpful elves!!
Agreed. He's wise beyond his years. Everything about him says what a wise, thoughtful, caring and loving young man he is.
Thank you Secret Santa, Nate, & the "delivery crew"... 🎅 🧑🎄 🎄 Merry Christmas to this family!!! ❤️
Aww this one got me. That older boy was just adorable.
Tears into my coffee cup this morning as I watched this. The gift given wasn't a years rent.
It was a year's financial piece of mind for this family as they focus on her daughter's health.
Amen 🙌🙏
Covering the rent is so awesome. She will have peace of mind.
Thank You Jesus for sending all these wonderful people and I pray that Secret Santa will be blessed!
Secret Santa precious work for humanity and Love from India 🇮🇳
Boy sure loves his mom.
Thank you Secret Santa
I'm crying a river of happy tears for this family. Thank goodness some of the financial load is lifted, so the focus is on healing a sick child.
Secret Santa, just WOW!! To use your good fortune to help those in need is beyond tremendous! The heart and thought put into every special recipient's gifts is a credit to you.
Every year I watch these videos, from afar. Though these are emotional stories, I am left with my heart full of hope for better times for everyone. BLESS YOU SECRET SANTA AND HELPERS!
Jen, you are doing an amazing job looking after your children. It’s hard work but hang in there - you can do it!!
Big cyber hugs and blessings from Australia 🇦🇺
🙏😊❤️
Ps. Secret Santa you’ve got me crying again - in a good way tho 😊❤
I agree, she’s raising fine young people. It’s evident she has an amazing relationship with her children. ❤️👍🙏
I just love every year when people from all over the world watch the videos too. Along with the blessings from Secret Santa, it makes it seem like the world is just a little bit better than what it has been! These videos bring a blessing also to the viewers from all over, because I for one feel blessed to watch them each year. I am from Idaho, and I just love reading the comments from other people who live elsewhere! Two thumbs up for humanity!
Could`nt agree more Karen.
Hi from Holland 😊
🇦🇺watch these every year x
@@evipoll8448 Come and visit Idaho. We have beautiful mountains and yummy potatoes!
@@debbiehart374 So do I. I just love Nate and his team. Best news station in Idaho! They did excellent coverage uncovering the secrets of Lori and Chad Daybell!
Bless this woman and her children. And God bless you Secret Santa and Nate and his team too.
What a relief for this woman!!! Hope her daughter is able to get well ASAP!!
Bless Secret Santa for his kind heart and helping out so many people in this community!
I love her kids! 🥰 They’re so sweet and supportive!
The mothers relief and shock that someone would do that for them. How wonderful it would be for the community to have a fund like this throughout the year to assist in cases like this one. May the daughter have a speedy and complete recovery. ❤️
God bless you secret santa
What wonderful children this lady is raising. Doing it right 100%. So glad this will ease their lives. Good one, SS!
That's what I ♥️ about this secret Santa is he gives gifts that will really help people. Not a lavish vacation but paying someone's rent is a huge burden lifted.
Wow those are great kids, made sure she knew she was going to be on camera!!
Oh my, Jen. Sending love and hugs to you and your family from the UK 🇬🇧. Love your little man there, what a support he is for you, and best wishes to your daughter on her health journey xx
Beautifully said.
Raising amazing children with that kind of example. Keep it up. Your children love u. Gif bless this secret Santa
Well done, boys, for keeping such a big secret…and wanting mum to look her best. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
There are a lot of things wrong with the youtube algorithm. But every morning when I open YT, Secret santa videos are the first one in my suggestions. Lovely to start my day with these!
One I can’t believer he kept the secret and two the love between him and his Mama was so very apparent…bless this family
That boy is sooo in love with his Momma. He will always be her biggest fan. Best one yet.
Jeeez , that got me. You can actually SEE the strength and love in some households. Wonderful.
I know it's been said over and over but I have to say it again. Obviously that mother is doing right with her children. The look of adoration in that young man's eyes brought me to tears.
Once again the people of Idaho, Secret Santa, the selection committee (East Idaho News) have picked some wonderful families to help !
This is my favorite content on TH-cam the entire year! Secret Santa, Nate, The Elves & East Idaho News Thank You for this awesome gift each Christmas! It is a FANTASTIC REMINDER in this world that can get pretty icky..That love, kindness, generosity & hope is still VERY MUCH ALIVE! We as viewers also receive “gifts” while watching..These gifts last far longer than anything monetary. God Bless you all.
Thank You. ❤️🙏🏻✨🎄✝️🥰
That's Why I watch them all year long ☺️
I lost my son in September and seeing how her son looked at her made me cry. What a sweet and very deserving family
May Jesus comfort you in your time of grief 🙏💙🙏
Nate you are the absolute BEST
no one spreads joy like you ❤😇
That oldest boy!! What a stellar young man with a loving heart. Good job, Mom!!!
I love you guys. God bless and keep this woman and her entire family, and may Almighty God bless and keep whoever "Secret Santa" is!
My prayers sent also.
This is absolutely the best Nate and huge thank you goes out to Secret Santa. I wish the world had way more people just like you. It would be a much better place. The impact you’re having is tremendous and it gives me hope for our country. So thank you and Merry Christmas!🎁🎄 🎄🎁🇺🇸
She's raising 2 good men there. The ripple effects from this are immeasurable. This has changed the trajectory of their lives for the better, and it's a beautiful thing to see
Inspires people watching to be their own Secret Santa. I’m so glad I found these videos.
I'm Agreeing in Prayer with Everyone that is Praying for Your Beautiful Daughter to be Completely Healed. in Jesus name. Amen

What an amazing gift!
The boys were just so awesome, I love the one looking at her with such love knowing how much this will help. ❤ 🎅
Through my blubbering tears I always see the best part of my day, in these videos.
What good son! You can tell he's a good person.
“we told her she would be filmed so she would be ready” 🥹 reminds me of my babies. Adorable!!
TEACHERS!! Our everyday heroes!! I'm so glad she got the help her who family needs.
I wish we could all thank this Secret santa ! he or she is amazing. He or she help so many people .
I LOVE that her son told her to be ready for the camera.. that melted my heart. What a great kid
The way he looks at his mum with such love
The relief from stress in the mom's face when she realized just exactly what she was given was so wonderful!! Her oldest son is definitely tuned into her and working hard at being the man of the family. Such a close, loving family...prayers for her daughter to have the medical interventions work the first time and be healed!
You can tell her truly appreciative she is ! Wishing her daughter to get stronger
Such a huge relief to have rent covered when you're worried about health!! 😭
Hello how are you doing?
The eldest boy knew how much help the gifts are
This kid is unreal! He's the kind I read in booker prize stories! The kind we watch in movies! I wish him well. I wish him the best in life. I love you so much young man! May you continue to be the star in beautiful stories in your future.
Very deserving family. There are still some good people in this world.
I kept waiting for this precious little man say: “and God bless us everyone.”
Heartwarming ♥️ Thank you Secret Santa for looking after this family x
Please spread kindness!!! It only takes one to make a difference. Be that one .
Thank you Secret Santa. Been watching from Washington, DC for the last several years. Brought me to tears. Love & Kindness 🙌🏻
Can we just talk about how lovely her children are ☺️
Boy , this one really hits you in your heart ❤️
Watching every year from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 Love Nate and his elves!! Her son who was right next to her the entire time, omg. My son just left home, he's 29. 😢 this episode really made me cry. What a lovely family. So deserving.
Hello how are you doing?
That kid was SO HAPPY for his mama!! Beautiful people deserve beautiful gifts. Idaho's Secret Santa is a joy to the world.
The love and support meant the world to this mother. The older boy understands the gravity of the situation of his sibling.
*Christmas Miracles* 😇
*💯 fold Blessings to the Secret Sponsor, Idaho team and all who support and are well wishers* 🙌🏽

A sensational surprise for Jen and her children!! Merry Christmas❤🎄🥰🥰🥰
om gosh,..sweet sweet children. that young boy staring into his mothers eyes! You can tell he is her rock. I could watch his sweet reaction in tune with her,..over and over again. But lets be honest men,..we are ALL moma's boys!!
Secret Santa you did it again ….Thank goodness. Those gifts were very much needed right there ….you could tell how much she needed the help and her eldest son …wow what a wonderful young man . I hope you all have a wonderful Xmas now . Love and best wishes from the UK xx 🎅
For sure you can tell this is a MOMMA not just a mother.God bless her and her family.
RESPECT to the KID. Gonna be a great MAN
The bible is very clear about giving, when you give to someone, you are blessing them physically, mentally, and emotional, and spiritual! You are changing their path, to a better place. And you get blessed for doing what the bible tells us Christians should be doing, everyday!
AMEN 🙌🙌🙏
Thank you Secret Santa and East Idaho News.
Hello how are you doing?
You can tell how much love those kids have for their mom. Well deserving family to receive the secret Santa gift. I will be praying for your daughter as well as your whole family. I hope everybody has a good day and a happy holiday season
This one had me bawling. My husband has been donating plasma just so that we can pay bills. Well, he got sick and now he's been unable to donate. My 5 beautiful blessings (my children) look at me with the same love that that young man looked at his mother with. They see and know that in the tough times that mom will do her best to hold down the fort 💯
That is a special little boy he is AMAZING
When I start to feel sorry for myself I just watch secret santa videos.
That's a house that's so abundantly full of love... if the World was filled with that much love there would be no more hate, and there would certainly be no more wars. The love that young man had for his mother was a joy to behold, i was so emotional witnessing it!
