    Dear Secret Santa - I’ve been such a fan for years, you inspire me so much. This year I finally could give Christmas presents anonymously to two different strangers. For a child in foster care, and for the guardian of a child in need so that they can gift him a great Christmas.
    Stress exhausts and numbs me, but each season when these air I’m recharged with a giving spirit. Thank you & EIN for inspiring the world to selflessly help others, in whatever small or big ways we can. You really are making it happen. We ❤ ya!

    I was thinking I hope they were given $10K at least but I realized, it’s not really how much these families are given, it’s more of the thought that the community believe they are deserving, they were blessed regardless of how huge the blessing is and that they truly are deserving of it.
    Thank you Secret Santa! I look forward to this everyday.
    Edit to clarify my comment:
    At first, I was hoping it was a $10K check why? Because of his stroke/vertigo journey. I was thinking it would really be a huge help for I assume their mounting medical expenses. But again, I’m from the other side of the world and Nate and co. and Secret Santa have been doing this for years, and I’m completely sure they know better and the reaction from them says it all: What they’ve received is more than enough. :)

    I was so relieved when Nate went back to say that was one of FIVE loads because I was really thinking firewood was incredibly expensive in Idaho if that one load was $2000 of wood! I assume it was “fresh cut” but from already seasoned wood so that they can safely burn it this year. That’s a wonderful gift from Secret Santa and I hope the new glasses aid in a speedier recovery.

    What an amazing gift for this family. I know when our daughter in Australia had to by wood for the heating it was so expense to heat the house in the freezing climate. This huge amount of wood will take away the worry of keeping warm over the freezing winter in Idaho. The money for his special glasses and food vouchers will make a huge difference and help take away some of the worries and allow them to have a wonderful Christmas. Praying for a full recovery for this lovely man from his stroke. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
    Thank you Secret Santa, your generosity, it’s mind blowing the way you help those in need every Christmas, you are one of a kind.

    I had a good friend that was very independent and he had a job at Toys R Us and he suddenly had a stroke 6 years ago and he was on the floor for 2 days and then one morning his his weekly cleaner for the condo came over and had a key and they couldn't get a hold of him by phone so then they checked where he was at and he was still on the floor of his bedroom and of course he had to go to the bathroom and everything and he was still alive but he lost the use of his left side almost because of the stroke and he could barely swallow because of the sensation in his throat he eventually had to go to a old folks home where they took care of him but he gave up eventually doing anything in 2021 and then just a few weeks after I saw him he passed away in his sleep we had as remembrances this year and there was a lot of people that said how nice he was and didn't have a mean bone in his body he suffered from childhood with brain tumors and problems learning but he was a smart person and he taught me a lot about life we knew each other for 34 years and it was really sad when he was gone I still think about him everyday

    Aside from all the tearful thanks to Santa, my favorite words to hear on this channel are now "I know you guys!". *Everyone* should know Nate Eaton and this mission of hope. Two thoughts bring tears to my eyes with every video; my joy is refilled with each surprised smile and I am also humbled and challenged to make good happen in the world, just like Nate's family and crew and Secret Santa.

I've spent all day at a breast cancer center. Just feeling so sad until i watched the blessings you've given to this fine family. Blessings to All 💞

    I am rooting for Secret Santa to keep on giving lots of practical gifts.
    Trucks and cars are nice but even better are the food, gas, rent, medical, etc gift cards and checks.
    That way more can he helped with that million dollars.

    • @christinamirkovic3857
      @christinamirkovic3857 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Georgia Amanatidis. The cars, the furniture, etc are very important and useful to people in need. If the Santa gives 3.000$ in gift cards for gas or grocery, they can keep their money to pay their health expenses. Κατάλαβες???

    My wife had 6 little stokes and it caused her eyes to be off where she saw double also. She tried the glasses and they were ok but I found an eye doctor in Oklahoma City that would do surgery and she can see like before the strokes,so thankful I found him for her.

    Wishing Vinny the very best with recovery! I hope that Nate misspoke when he kept saying that was fresh cut firewood. You do not want fresh cut firewood you needed wood that has seasoned and dried properly to be able to use it this winter. Thank you Secret Santa!

  • @loobylouboti

    I know a little about how hard is is when the rug is swept out from under your feet, and you go from being how you always were, to suddenly being this sick person who can't do most (if any,) of the thing you used to be able to do and *want* to be able to do (not to mention what you *think* you should be able to do.) It must be even harder as a hard working head of a household, 16 yr ar his job, welder. Really really tough. Not to mention our eye sight is one of the greatest blessings we can have.
    I do hope this man goes on to make if not a full recovery, then as good as. Getting his appetite back will help alot with his strength so now they don't need to worry about buying lots of yummy food to entice his senses.
    ..I couldn't believe it when Nate ran back to tell them it wasnt just this load of firewood but FIVE. Haha! That is sooooooo amazing!! To not have ro worry about heating the home for the entire winter is an absolute blessing and God send.
    SS is the absolute salt of this earth.
    Much love to the EIN team and the awesome guy who cut the wood for them and to himself and all the elves for unloading it all too.
    Total random side note.. I LOVE this couples home! It looks so nice and homely and cosy. 😍
