Couple delivering newspapers stunned after seeing what Secret Santa brought them

A Secret Santa is back and this Christmas is bigger than ever!
The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local man gift more than $500,000 this holiday season. A lot more. Secret Santa is a real person who wants to remain anonymous and hopes to help as many individuals in our community as he can.
Scott and Twila Kent make and sell delicious fudge. This year most of the fairs and events have canceled because of COVID-19. They have struggled all year with money and have gone through three different cars that have broken down.
All of their children got together and spent $500 on a car for an early Christmas present but the vehicle is on its last legs.
They depend on their car for work for delivering newspapers and Twila also works part-time at the Sugar Salem School District. Scott has Parkinson's Disease and attends boxing class at Apple Athletics Club to assist with his health. T
Scott and Twila are incredible people and Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to go pay them a visit with some early Christmas gifts. Watch the video above to see the surprise!

[@kerricaster2700]

People outside this area just don't understand how important a car is here. We really have unreliable public transportation and what we have is slow and expensive. I drive 25 miles to work everyday..when my car was totalled at work Nov 30th this year out in front of my job all I could think was how am I getting home and back for work tomorrow. The guys insurance didnt care. Gifts of cars are huge to people without one here..thanks to Secret Santa for helping people in need

[@Gkam84]

I'm sure people outside the area do understand, I live in Scotland and where I live, we have a handful of buses per day, that is the only public transport, so if you don't have a vehicle, you are stuck.

[@bounaimhamza4792]

Trust me, we do. I'm from Morocco, I used to take 2 buses to go to the University, and I had to wake up 2hrs earlier in order to get there. Now that I'm working, I can afford a taxi, but I spend more than double the cost of gas per month, and at the same time I can't afford a car since the prices are too high and the road tax is just too much, and I refuse to finance one.

[@Gkam84]

@@bounaimhamza4792 When I was studying, I also had to take 2 buses to college and Uni, which was over 2 hours of travelling for a 45-mile journey, at that time I didn't have a license or funds for a car. So I moved 45 miles away. Now I have a car, I could do that drive in under an hour.

[@sammic974]

We live in Devon in the UK. Bus services are not what they should be and hospitals are over an hour away by car, let alone buses which take 2 hours. So many of us understand.

I cried the hardest on this one because it reminded me the most of my mom and dad. My mom passed away 4 years ago. She was the most giving lady that I have ever known. She even gave when our family was struggling because she knew that all our needs would always be met. What a beautiful deserving couple.
