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.
Kent is one of a kind. He is the sweetest, most loving, hardest worker you'll meet. He will do anything for anyone.
Kent has lived alone for about 6 years. This past year his health started to decline and he spent this summer at many doctors' appointments.
Kent works as a shuttle driver every single day from May until October. After shuttles get over for the day, you will find Kent cutting up all the wood he can. Kent supplies wood for four people during the winter. All summer he works to get all the wood for anyone that needs any.
He recently had his chainsaw stolen out of the back of his truck. Our co-worker gave him a little chainsaw to use so he can still get wood for the people who are counting on him. Every day he shows up to work with a bag of donuts and the biggest smile. He is just happy to be at work! He never complains and is genuinely one of the happiest people you'll meet.
Kent has so much love for everyone he is around and his energy is contagious.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Kent a visit with a gift we've never given before along with some extra presents. Check out the special moment in the video player above.

I’m from Tasmania, Australia. Each year I look forward to these videos because they show compassion, hope, generosity and really deserving people. Each one usually has me in tears xx thank you East Idaho News and Secret Santa
I am always looking forward them in Germany 🤭
Hello Tasmania! You Tazzy's are wonderful people. Lifelong memories of a wonderful trip.
I've had the good fortune to be able to visit Tasmania twice (Hobart). Absolutely love it there!
Same here!
Greetings from Colombia!
Same here, and I’m from The Netherlands! I love how they always manage to find people who are so deserving ♥️
This one got me….. I was tearing up at this sweet soul’s reaction. Such a wonderful gift for this giving man.
Me too!
Yes. Merry Christmas.✨🕊✨
@Melissa Evaristo Absolutely.✨
God Bless this humble man. He is overwhelmed by what Secret Santa set him for Christmas.
Videos like this reminds me why god created us in the first place. Jesus is king 👑
There is no one more deserving than this man, he is so humble and cannot stop shaking. He is now feeling the love from the community.
Every Secret Santa recipient has been deserving ~ Thank you Secret Santa And may your life be always blessed.
We need about 10,000 of this man. What a joy and a blessing! God bless you sir!!
For those of you who did not tear up watching this incredible gentleman, watch this until you do.
I would but I sick and focused on not puking sorry
His reaction shows how deserving he is - bless him.
Amen to that!
Amen! He seems like a keeper to me!
"We just have to help one another out and everyone will be fine."
-a man who cuts wood for four people year round so they'll be warm throughout South eastern Idaho winters!
He's a gem!
This guy bought me to tears 😢😢😢 …so sweet and so overwhelmed by the gift. His comment “why” when he does so much helping others what a lovely sweet man, and bringing donuts to his co workers everyday. Sad his chainsaw was stolen, but I’m certain his new beaut chainsaw will be better than his old one. Such a well deserving recipient of Secret Santa again, it really makes you appreciate how lucky you are to have what you have, when you see so many really struggling, honest, hard working, caring people, always doing things to help others when they themselves are struggling. He will be able to cut his wood for winter and all those who rely on him much quicker now. I pray he has a wonderful Christmas with his gifts to help him get through the winter. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and your helpers, your all so awesome and Secret Santa is so very generous and giving. 🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🤶🏻
Well said. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas too my lovely x
Aww, such a sweet deserving guy. These videos get posted at 7am in the U.K. and I love that I get to see them first thing in the morning as it’s such a beautiful thing to start the day with. X
@@50sRockChick I'm in Scotland and was first thing I watched with my morning caffeine fix. It is a good way to start the day for sure. X
YEA I THOUGHT I WAS CUTTING ONIONS
@@LadyLuck13 I hope you have a lovely Christmas Season too 💗🎄🎅🏻xo
What a humble, kind, caring man. He was so happy and, bless him, he was shaking so. Truly deserving. Thank you Secret Santa, Nate, and "elves". 🎅❤🤗
Another humble, man who doesn’t need thousands of dollars, and appreciates a wonderful hand up! Well done Nate! (Well done Secret Santa)
Hello from Spain! My heart is full with joy, I'm happy for him and happy because there's a lot of good people around the world who make our lives a little bit easier!
Have a Merry Christmas when it comes from Montana, USA!
@@user-zp3oz7op6w Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas!
@@carmela1143 Thank you, Carmela
Its amazing that the people who struggle whether they be homeless, struggling financially or mentally, always question "why me". They are selfless, thoughtful, wonderful caring people, even though they struggle and do not have much, always consider that someone else is more worthy than themselves when receiving a gift. This man was just wonderful, humble, and so over come with happiness, thank you East Idaho News. I have been watching your secret Santa for years and always look forward to them, from your fans in Australia, well done. You spread the christmas spirit just as it should be spread.
So true - then there are the other channels here on Yoo toob that show women concerned with $2,000 purses or guys wanting the newest Lamborghini. God will prepare a mansion in Heaven for this man who was a humble servant to others during his time here on earth.
THANK YOU SECRET SANTA!🎅🏻 You especially are truly doing the job of angels here - we appreciate your generosity more than you know.😇
Can we get this gentleman and the school aid who got the car together lol……They’re both such lovely people.
❤
This man is a treasure. God bless him!
When someone says "why?" after being given gifts, you know you have picked the right recipient.
"We just help one another out and everything's fine," . . . . what a wonderful man.
Tears. Xxx
@@ExtremePainGames Same. 😢
Kent is such a gentleman, so deserving of a Secret Santa. 🎅🏴
What a kind humble man. He really deserves those gifts. Well done Secret Santa.
I live in California but I love watching Nate and his Secret Santa giveaway. I think he has one of the best jobs ever. He gets to bring such heartfelt joy into people’s lives and they are so thankful for the kind of things he brings them. It must be awesome to bring that joy to them. And he is just kind and so respectful of their feelings. You can tell he really really cares.
I’m in Georgia and I feel the same way. This has to be one of the best jobs ever.
Pennsylvania here
South Carolina here. I understand not every community has an anonymous donor who gives $1 million a year but I'd at least like to see a Feel Good Friday. I reached out to a couple news affiliates pitching the idea and have so far heard nothing.
Texas here. ❤
I'm based in Scotland, UK and I adore these videos. Every morning watching these is how I start my day.
Sweet that people in other countries enjoy these. Just know that most of America is like this even though our country seems to be insane from the outside looking in. We have such good people here.
England here. Sat with my morning coffee watching what has become an annual tradition. Redwoods is right, I have visited almost 40 states. The people are amazing.
Have a Merry Christmas when it comes from Montana, USA!
@@cannavaras Have a Merry Christmas when it comes from Montana, USA!
This is only my second year watching these secret Santa videos and it’s already my favorite Christmas tradition ☺️
Same, but I caught it a few years ago.
It’s such a wonderful thing! Once you start, you won’t be able to stop. I like to watch them through the season and then I kinda binge watch (previous years) the week of Christmas.
welcome bring the box of tissues!
Same for me. Just discovered them last year. And now that this year’s have started, I am actively looking for them. I tear up at every one. Such deserving people. Thanks to Secret Santa and Nate and team
Same me 3yrs ago.. 🙃
Kent is a great example of how we should all be. Thank you Secret Santa for blessing this man.
He reminds me of my dad, who also would've done anything to help anyone at any time. This guy seems like a good one too.
Rest In Peace Dad people like you still exist down here.
I mean this with the upmost respect. You need to be more like your dad. Most of us do. There are definitely good people still down here and it's up to us to make sure it stays that way. Much love from Ohio
That's a real man - providing for others by working hard. So great to see him be blessed. He could hardly get a sentence out! He was even gracious/humble enough not to correct them when they called the hatchet an axe... 😁
We need people like Kent in Congress.
I second that. He is so deserving.
In a nut shell, "Just help one another out". A worthwhile motto.
So happy for him he deserves all the blessings coming his way. He was humble about it all
In A Wold that's so much negativity.. you find a way to make people Smile... Thank you Secret Santa 🎅 ... For reminding us that there are more kind people than Not ⛔
Wow! What a lovely, lovely gentleman. He was so overwhelmed thank you to his co workers for nominating him. ❤️🇬🇧
What a sweetheart of a man! He deserves everything he got today and more!
This is what Christmas is all about. Seeing the joy on the people's faces who is so deserving of these gifts. Thank you Secret Santa for what you do every Christmas. Best wishes from South Africa.
He still asks why …. He’s so humble and kind !
Bless you all that made this happen!
I'm not from Idaho, not even from America. I'm watching from England and oh my goodness, this is just amazing. I had tears in my eyes. Just a beautiful thing to do. Always wanted to visit America and this just makes me more determined to get over there!
Have a Merry Christmas when it comes from Montana, USA!
Well today I cried. Such a warm ,caring man . He was so genuine.
What a nice fellow. His friends and co-workers really appreciate him, and we can see why! What great gifts for him. Thank you to Secret Santa and all you helper "elves"!
What wonderful, thoughtful gifts, you can tell this gentleman was overwhelmed and very happy. He provides firewood to 4 families, that chainsaw will make sure he can continue to do so. Thank you secret santa!
You can tell he really doesn't expect anything for doing hard work to help people in need. Oh but he totally deserves it!!!!
Just reading your sentence almost made me go off again. Low on tissues here , stop it ! Lol
He can’t stop crying. I can’t stop crying. Thank you, Secret Sandra and East Idaho News for blessing me (in GA)with these stories.
'We just need to help each other out and everything is fine' ...wow his last words just hit me...with hearts like his the world becomes a better place
"I just love everybody, I really do" he said through his tears. I'm crying with him. Thank you Secret Santa.
I started choking up as soon as they started walking across the yard to that sweet man…just knowing that this man’s generosity n kindness was going to b rewarded…a perfect gift for a deserving soul ❤
If the world was full of such selfless and helpful people like these recipients - it would be a paradise! Dear Santa Claus - thank you soooo much! Merry Christmas for everyone 🎅🤶🎄❄️⛄🎁❤️❤️❤️
I cry at these every year but I love watching them to see people that deserve being thanked for what they do for others. Thank you East Idaho news ❤❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎅🎅
I’m sure I’m meant to be smiling and not crying when I watch Secret Santa do all this good for the community! ❤🙏🇦🇺
Kent seems like a great guy. I love that you gave him a chainsaw. It’s a gift that will work hard to keep giving. Kent seems like the type of guy who will try to help 8 family’s now instead of 4.
I love that these stories highlight those who help others in all different types of ways. Some cut firewood, some make hats and gloves to keep others warm. These videos will help inspire many of us to find ways to contribute back to our communities.
What a humble man. Thanks Secret Santa.
AWE! How precious. BLESS YOU KENT, Santa, Nate and Elves! 🙏😍😍🎉🥳
I think I’m gonna need a bigger box of tissues! The humility in this man is so wonderful! And bless you again secret Santa.
OMG, what a wonderful man. Imagine a world filled with people like him?
How touching this segment was. I am in tears. Thank you Secret Santa for bringing joy to his life.
What a humble humble man...He sure brought me to big tears...so deserving he is!! Loved seeing this man get recognized!!
This is the Light of Christ! This is how we should all be to each other. May Kent be blessed and East Idaho news for sharing this kind news.
What a wonderful and humble man. No one deserves these gifts more. God bless Secret Santa.
What a soft heart, MY GOD he is refreshing..."if we all just help each other out, it'll be alright!" God Bless Santa and Nat and his elves!!
First again. I stay up for these videos.
And I get up for them Eddie, Greetings from the UK
And mine are waiting when I get home from work. Hot and humid. I can see another beer and prawn fueled Christmas day in my horoscope. God bless EIN. Cheers from North Queensland 🖕
❤❤❤ I needed to see this right now… GOD BLESS YOU ALL ❤❤❤
These videos challenge me to examine how good a person I am at giving back. What a powerful reminder seeing the difference in these peoples lives can be. it's a wake up call.
He is obviously a very hard working, kind, private and humble man. God bless!
Awesome story I'm crying ty nate and the entire team who helps
Aw what a sweet heart. He was so happy even seeing them coming for him without knowing about any of the gifts
What a blessing this man is! Secret Santa, Nate, the person who wrote the letter.. everyone
This man is true example of what we all should be. He found such genuine joy and gratitude for food and gas . ❤
This guy warms my heart. i love it when ppl help others in need.

He is precious. Obviously has a good soul. What a beautiful moment, thanks for sharing this with us❤
If you can afford it, please be a 'Secret Santa' to someone deserving in your life!
This was by far my favorite person. The most thankful. Love this man.
I’m in tears ! This man has a beautiful soul ! Bless him and thank you secret Santa.
It is just such a joy to see these sweet humble people who don't expect anything, that there are still people like that in the world today.
Well, I started crying before we even met this gentleman. I chose the word “gentleman “ for a reason. He is a gentle man the best kind of man. How sweet.
It's comforting to know that there are still people like Kent around - doing their part to help others, while content to stay in the background, never making it into the news, but making the community a better place. Thank you, Secret Santa, for finding him, making us aware, and restoring our confidence in the world around us.
GBU. I am Indonesia people,i believe mitacle in cristmast.
It so nice to see people who never ask for anything get rewarded for being a genuine human being.
What a beautiful story. You can tell this man is so thankful.
Wonderful surprise for a kind, deserving man.
Another well deserved recipient from Secret Santa. Such a sweet man, brought tears 😭 to my eyes….❤❤❤❤❤
So I lay in this hospital bed watching East Idaho news video recovering from a heart attack and what makes me cry? Not my heart failing but that mans heart filled with love and appreciation. Always a joy. Thanks secret santa!
This guy that cuts wood is truly worthy of this, thank you.
Loved this video and Kent, what a wonderful human x
Kent, May God heal your health in Jesus' name! You sir are an angel on Earth. Thank you Secret Santa for spreading well deserved happiness with your extremely generous donation! Thank you Nate and the East Idaho News team for delivering the gifts with love and good wishes.
Salt of the earth is what this man is.
He deserves the world!!!!
The world needs more caring people just like this man! May God continue to bless him for loving so many others!
We just have to help each other out and everything's fine. Well said.
This is a real man. So caring. So giving. Humble and just the purest soul.
There needs to be someone like this anonymous secret santa in every state. I’ve been a fan of this East Idaho secret santa series for a long time, and I’m nowhere near Idaho.
Nate is the perfect secret Santa to deliver keep up the good work , I want to move to Idaho the community seems so compassionate and kind to others !!! 😮😊😊
Oh my goodness, I love him. I love what Secret Santa does for people. Gives me serious feel goods.
We aren't the secret Santa, but we love you and everyone else too. You are a true blessing. The world is a better place, because you are here. This is Mrs. Ace X, in Florida. I hope that you are feeling well.
He says he loves EVERYBODY and I believe him! Such a sweet man 😭
another secret santa surprise... i love watching your videos
Oh my! He is absolutely wonderful.
The world is full of wonderful people, too bad the media doesn't show more of those in the dark times. Thank you East Idaho News and Secret Santa.
The man can't stop shaking he's so overwhelmed with sheer appreciation. That tells me he deserved everything he got.
Such a sweet man , he deserves it ❣️❣️❣️
