A 'guardian angel' at Gold's Gym who helped a man in a wheelchair gets a surprise

[@thomashaugh8720]

Give this man a secret Santa

[@thomashaugh8720]

Rehabilitation perhaps

[@TheWatcher818]

Agreed

[@lilyfreeborn3550]

Yes!! He deserves a secret Santa!!

[@layalaya9367]

@@lilyfreeborn3550 Nothing stopping you ~To be his secret santa, every little bit helps.

[@maryjarrell1651]

Agreed

[@thebusybee7080]

OMG! This is so moving. Typical East Idaho News. Please someone put his name in to Secret Santa. Eric is so inspiring. His determination is incredible. And Angie, her kindness is something else. And the owner of the gym - you rock for getting the weighted vest for Eric and giving him the membership. And Nate of course, you really know how to reach people. And of course Ashley Home Furniture for Feel Good Friday - the reason behind finding all these good people.

[@melissahahn8721]

Yes, 100% agree to put his name on secret Santa list

[@susanf4857]

I agree too!!

[@macsloan58]

YES!!!!!

[@HelloDarling73]

Good Idea!

[@m.gramlich239]

I agree, he needs to be on the Secret Santa list. Maybe they can see about helping him get to the Institute of Neurological Recovery in Florida. There are lots of videos on youtube of stroke patients getting immediate relief from stroke symptoms with their injections. He's such a deserving man.

[@davidgoodrich1258]

It’s the little things folks. This woman paid his gym membership and that alone was life changing for this man. Absolutely amazing.

[@kempedkemp]

What a sweetheart! The owners sound pretty special too! You can't get better PR than that last sentence she spoke.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Congratulations Eric and I believe we’re going to see something here on KZbin in a year that you are walking. Excited for that to happen. Thank you Angie and Gold’s Gym for helping this gentleman reach his rehab goals!!

[@DrDoomsDaughter]

Oh Eric, it doesn’t matter if you cry - you are still a man. Your emotions are valid and it doesn’t make you any less of a deserving and worthy human being ♥️ You sir, are the definition of a STRONG man.

[@eaomonn1215]

Well said sir

Thanks for beautiful words❣️

[@mischa6688]

I wonder if Eric is living alone. If yes, what a superhuman. Keep going Eric and Angie, you’ll definitely be blessed more because of your kindness.

[@HomeLifewithRebecca]

Love eric. He goes to our church and premiere therapy where my daughter attends. He’s such a sweet soul!!!! So kind of her to pay for his membership!!!! ❤

[@jdhall229]

Nice to know there are kindhearted people like Angie, Golds Gym owners and people with determination like Eric.

[@Totallyxmoody]

His ability to talk is amazing, you can tell hes worked real hard on it, so proud of this man!

[@loveforeignaccents]

Aww, I loved his big old smile and thumbs up and saying "awesome, she deserves it" when they told him they were going to surprise Angie with a gift card. This truly is a Feel Good Friday, surprising both of these deserving people!!! Thanks for sharing & I wish them both blessings with all of their future endeavors! EDIT: You could tell Angie is just lovely, and the manager is even a gem, too, buying him the weighted vest. And Gold's Gym as well for not taking anyone's money and still letting this man work out. He is dedicated, and I am sure, with all of his hard work, he will be able to walk again. And I hope to see a followup on that when he does. Have a great weekend and stay safe, everybody!

[@SueProv]

Oh what a beautiful story. A dear man and lovely woman. Very touching.

And she gives the credit to the gym… she’s the hero here!

[@MyBareSolePodcast]

A+++ Best Feel Good Friday I’ve seen!

[@jamiemckenna3668]

Eric! In honor of you, I pushed myself harder at the gym today. Stay determined. I will too. Good job Angie, your kindness is contagious.

[@pitbull7885]

What a story! Thank you Angie and Golds Gym!

[@thedogzoo]

Thank you GOLDS.

[@CS-bz1tj]

I live in Florida and I do all I can to keep up with EIN. Just this week I started watching some of the old Secret Santa videos again. I love the special stories such as this one with Eric and Nate Eaton is superb at what he does. Keep up the fantastic work EIN and that goes for your entire staff. God bless you all!

[@richardhargrave6082]

They both deserve it, Eric for his determination and Angie for being a nice person. I started watching Secret Santa, now I watch every FGF, we have nothing like this in the UK! Well done

[@janicecanfield9211]

While I'd never live in Idaho, way too much snow for me, East Idaho clearly cares about their citizens. I've watched Secret Santa and FGF for a long time. Very caring. Great gal at the Golds Gym. And I really hope Secret Santa saw this episode and gifts this fella whatever he needs.

[@melissaconnellyjones2622]

These segments often make me a little teary, but this one had me ugly crying. Eric, you are a WARRIOR!

[@suzypos4571]

Awesome 👍🏼 Good luck with your physical therapy..you can do it. I had a stroke too and now walk five miles a day.

[@mavicityrelayson2924]

If he's kept talking all these years, I think one day he'll be able to walk. It may not be a marathon run, but he'll stand and walk and hug his family.

[@joshuad1716]

I too hope you’re back in a couple of months for Secret Santa, this man deserves it. My eyes are full of tears, as an able bodied 28 year old with a gym membership I never use, this just guts me to realize how much I’m taking for granted every day

[@kathleenardrey5094]

Wow! Feel Good Friday about lots of great folks: Eric, Angie, and the owner of that Gold's Gym. Three-in-one Friday! Thanks to EIN and Ashley Home Furnishings for sharing the stories of the every day good people out there in the world! Thanks to Champs and all of the horses, too!

[@chvid2009]

So happy for Eric! And kudos to Angie and Gold’s Gym! Praying you’ll walk again, Eric!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@mirandachristina3412]

This man is such a Legend, thanks for sharing part of his journey!

[@amberfritz6593]

Oh my heart! God bless them all! I just want to hug Eric, Angie, the Manager, and everyone involved. Praying and believing you will walk again my friend in Jesus name! Hallelujah! Thank you LORD! You are so loved!

See, there are still really, really good people in this world. Lord help me be one of those one day...

Eric is outstanding. He makes me want to improve myself, more. He defo should get a Secret Santa, this year. Please, do an update on him. Providing he's cool with it, obviously.

I'm actually from NY and have had, as many people have, such a hard time with being unemployed because of COVID and trying to stay positive. And this show brings tears to my eyes and it makes me know that there are still wonderful people out there., So thank you!!!
