When a widow is still crippled by medical payments a couple years after her husbands death, theres something seriously wrong with the system.

[@Kikkipewpew]

I Agreed. I'm lucky to be born in right country where we don't have to have medical depts. Our medical need is payed by taxes. If you got cancer, broke a leg you don't have to pay 1000 of dollars. It's free, thanks to our system. More countries should follow the same example when it comes to medical care.

Can we agree that she made her life harder than it needed to be by having 9 children with a low income job. 0 sense of responsibility. What a bad message to send. Just have kids you can't afford and someone will always be there to bail you out. Getting government housing, food, AND $/child every month for making poor life decisions....yeah I love the USA.

[@johneBGood]

@@user-dy2xu3uv8k No, I can not agree with you. I do not know her whole story. What was her husband´s job and so many other questions are unanswered? I find it difficult to judge anyone, especially if I have not walked in their shoes.

@@johneBGood Very true. In context of today's hyper-charged political environment, hard work and consistency transcends race, social status and ideology. Immigrant asian households build upon foundation of education and hard work to achieve their goals; nothing is taken for granted.

[@user-dy2xu3uv8k]

@@johneBGood There needs to be some level of accountability for having 9 children. If her husband had a level of income to support 9 children than his life insurance/ pension from his great job would have been more than enough to take care of her and the kids. If not, then they were clearly not able to have/care for that many children. Then, the only way to support that family is to get money from the government. If that is the case then they are on so much assisted living (9 kids worth) than there is no struggle for money. The average aide, per kid, is $600 here in New York. Could you imagine her getting $5400/month just for having kids she can't afford. On top of that, working a low paying job allows her to make just under the amount needed to opt her out of many aide programs. Further allowing her to collect money from the government (on top of the money she gets from the kids), just for her own aide. I understand the concept of walking a mile in her shoes but when do we hold her accountable? I still don't agree that rewarding someone for poor planning and preparation in life; especially when it comes to having excessive amounts of children, is something that should be glorified. What I'm saying about their financial circumstances is common sense.

[@johneBGood]

@@user-dy2xu3uv8k I agree to disagree. It would seem that you are looking at this as just an American. In many of the Asian countries, birth control is taboo. Also, the teachings of the Catholic Church in these countries about the pill and condoms tell a very false story and so the people are afraid of any form of birth control. Keep smiling

We can all do our small part, but to see someone with so much give so much shows that humanity is simply that, humanity. Rich or poor, we are human and we have a obligation to help one another where and when we can. Thank you to everyone in this video.

Women having multiple children they cannot afford in a world where poor people are suffering because there is not enough resources left to go around should NEVER be praised. They are ignorant and selfish and people like you endorse this perpetual suffering of innocent children.

I'm already crying before Secret Santa has given Yuko anything, she's an absolute angel and she's been through so much already. My condolences for your loss Yuko and family. May God bless you with health and happiness going forward.

Hi Cheryl

[@juliafleming7538]

What a precious lady! Nate is just the right person to give these blessings. His kindness and compassion is seen as he explains how the car works. May this family enjoy these gifts!!

Hi Julia

[@mamashanshan2772]

My family received a secret Santa when my son had Adult Leukemia when he was 11, he’s now 30! We received food and money, I cannot express how much it meant to us all, we will never forget this! We had a few surprises!! This makes my heart so happy, I cry happy tears always for the good acts of others for our pouring love!! Blessed be all! This is the best!! Much love & the best to the families in need.

[@pinkiesvlogs2]

I'm pretty sure I've never witnessed a gentler, sweeter soul. I hope she gets to go to Japan but I really hope she comes right back We need people like yuko here. God bless you, yuko and your amazing family. There's a big woman in that tiny body. You're an inspiration.

I don’t know if it’s different state to state, but when my father passed away 10 years ago from cancer, his medical debt went away as well. My mother no longer had to pay anything for his medical debts. I hope that someone can help her look into this as I hope she isn’t paying debts that no longer need to be addressed. She needs to be able to keep what she earns. Lovely lovely woman, and I hope she will be blessed even more in the years to come. What a wonderful story! God bless that Secret Santa!!

[@PatricesProjects]

This one really hit me hard. My mother also came from Japan. After a few moves around the US with the military, my father left us for a few years when he retired from the Air Force. She learned to drive, and even before that, took a taxi to work to support us. My father came back over a year later and they purchased their first house. He died about a year later, leaving mom mother with 3 children, 8, 10 and 12 years old. Thankfully he had some life insurance and died suddenly, so there were no medical bills, and my mother was able to take some time to grieve before having to return to her rather low paying job. Culturally, it is uncomfortable for traditional Japanese people to accept random gifts. I don't know as much about the men, but the women tend to be quite giving, without expecting others to return the generosity. Is it possible for someone trustworthy that knows her to set up a go fund me account to help pay off the medical bills?

[@HighOnAmmo]

It's gotta be tough in a foreign country where you haven't fully learned the language and your significant other dies. Hopefully this pushes her forward and she gets what is deserved. This next drink is to her and her children becoming way more wealthy and all the luck in the world to them.

[@HighOnAmmo]

@Andrea Gomez If you're talking about me...thanks but all I'm thinking when out in public is self respect and respect to others. Humanism. It's seriously so simple but I probably don't need to preach to the choir. lol Enjoy your holidays and hopefully 2021 will be a bit better than this year has been. I may be homeless by January. Sucks.

[@mooseboots5740]

Three things from this video: 1) Nate is awesome 2) Yuko Shelton is lovely and awesome 3) That view is lovely, awesome and magnificent I can't imagine being in a foreign land, with ten children and losing my spouse. Her extended family, the people who usually step in to help in such situations, are thousands of miles away. She didn’t realise how much the second cheque was for until Nate said. Another humble person.

[@jennyc5132]

How lovely thankyou secret Santa..wow raising nine children alone, still paying off her old car, probably up to her neck in debt with her house, let alone paying for school uniforms, shoes , everyday clothes , food, how does she do it on a no doubt menial wage in America.. at least in Australia she would be getting free medical and child allowance and income support too etc etc etc merry Christmas

[@chrisp1355]

Blessings to her and her children.

[@rozibektas143]

Nate, I discovered your channel during the lockdown, and ever since, I have been captivated by your wonderful stories. The secret Santa you mention, who you refer to as he, truly is an amazing person-an angel among us. I pray that he is blessed with great health and a long life so he can continue to make a difference in people's lives. In this particular episode, something resonated with me, prompting me to wonder what if all the millionaires and billionaires in the world embraced the spirit of secret Santa, setting aside just 1 million dollars to help those truly in need. Imagine the extraordinary impact that would have during this time of year! Thank you, Nate, for being part of this incredible act of kindness. 🇹🇷🇬🇧❤️🙏

I don’t tend to comment on videos but I needed to comment on this I’ve watched a lot of these secret Santa videos and may I just say she has seemed to be the most deserving and appreciative person (not that the others weren’t) But I could just feel her emotions so f*****g hard what a beautiful women
