When you have people out there struggle to pay for the meds they need to live IE insulin Chemo and other high price meds. Also you have disabled people that would love to get back to a more normal life like walks in parks and beach but can't. There insurance will not cover a track wheelchair or only pays a small % of the cost for a scooter and they have to come up with $10k to get a scoot on top of what insurance pays. Where a Junkie can get free medical service and meds to save they life. Just a lot of people think and feel there are others that need help that are trying to life a good life but can't get any help. Where there the same junkie that every week are getting saved from overdose and not trying to better themselves. Truth is the whole system is screwed up.

[@t-and-p]

This is so true!! These gifts from Secret Santa are not about feeling rich, or wanting fancy or expensive things. It's the blessing of a less stressful life - not having to panic over whether you can afford your rent, not having to choose between heating and eating, and not losing sleep due to an unexpected bill or expense. It's difficult to explain to those who have never experienced it, but financial struggles are crippling in a multitude of ways - affecting health, sleep, nutrition, mental health, family relationships, and so much more. Secret Santa gives far more than financial assistance. He gives hope, reassurance, compassion, love, and helps to change and arrange circumstances so that those who are struggling can turn it around and thrive. I hope he gets as much joy out of doing these as we get from watching them 💖 (Edited to fix typo)

That's my main reason for staying sober. My wife and my parents and my siblings. I went to an inpatient rehab for 7.5 weeks for cocaine addiction only 3 months after I started dating my wife. She could have cut her losses and moved on since we were so early on in our relationship but she stuck with me and set aside time everyday to answer my phone calls once I got phone call privileges and drove 2.5 hours once a week to take me out to lunch when I got day pass and visitor privileges. We'll have been together 7 years in March and married for 3 now and she's my rock and my best friend. And now we're at a place in life where we are talking about having kids. I might not love myself as much as I should and life hasn't been anywhere close to perfect but I love her so much that I'd never forgive myself for messing it up. Been sober 79 months. To anyone that stumbles across this comment that struggles with addiction and self-worth, someone out there genuinely loves you and cares about you, and depending on your life circumstances you might not have that person in your life yet, but they are out there. If nothing else, just know that I care about you. The road to getting clean is an incredibly difficult one, but it's worth it because you're worth it. Try not to get discouraged because everyone's path is different and what works for one person might not work for another. Stay strong. I love you.

So proud of him

[@sakitoby1581]

How awesome, one of my favorite Secret Santa clips. Stay strong, stay sober, Nick. Circle the wagons when you need to--it is 100% ok to call for help sometimes, for all of us. There's a REASON your daughter found her way into your life. There's a REASON why you were chosen by Secret Santa for these blessings. You have a special purpose in this life. Never give up on fulfilling it. Sobriety is a key to success. Much respect to you. "Keep moving forard" indeed. God bless you, merry Christmas, and very happy new year. I really hope we see you again on here, for a follow up. We your internet stranger friends are rooting and praying for you! xoxoxo

As a father of a young daughter I'm very proud of Nick. His head and his heart are both in the right place. He seems like a fine man. He'll do great at raising a lovely daughter who will be proud of him as her role model. Bless him and bless Secret Santa for being so generous and kind.

Nick is an inspiration. Thanks Secret Santa, now he can let his breath out for a bit .

😭 What a guy. Now, he can catch his breath and hopefully spend more time with his daughter. Having no rent for a year will take a huge load off. What a deserving person. It sure seems like he will be an excellent social worker. Wishing you the best, Nick!!! ❤️🌲❤️🌟❤️🌲❤️

started crying when his first reaction to that check was "so many other people need it" all the confirmation you need that this money went to the right person. his daughter is blessed to have such a superhero of a father.

This man is good in his heart, Im glad drugs didnt take him from our world. Many blessings to him and I hope he achieves his degree in the social work field.

Well, I was afraid I would run out, LOL! What a way to start the day, huh? I always blubber my eye makeup off…

It’s Christmas Eve. I saved this one for now. I don’t know why, but I did. After years and years of trying to get my family to stop the Christmas Gift Insanity, we finally did… and instead I watch East Idaho’s Secret Santa give the gifts that keep on giving to do many beyond the recipient. I didn’t cry for Nick, but my hands hurt from clapping. Oh, this was s-o-o-o good! 🎄🎁🦌🎅🏼🎉🎆💫👏🏻

This young man really deserves Secret Santa's generousity. All the best for him and his daughter. Merry Christmas from Germany.

One day at a time, just one day at a time. Xx

This is one where I would like to see an update how Nick and his daughter are doing

That gentleman looks so tired and worn out. What hardworking guy, working 2 jobs supporting his child. God bless!
