A Feel Good Friday surprise for a woman who has blessed hundreds of families during the holidays

#eastidahonews #feelgoodfriday #surprise
EastIdahoNews.com is partnering with Ashley and Ashley Outlet of Idaho Falls to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
We recently learned about a woman named Jody who has blessed countless lives over the years. We received an email that said:
For over 15 years, Jody has put together, organized and almost single-handedly pulled off the Ucon Community Christmas Angel Tree. She has spent hours and hours year after year taking in family nominations, organizing Angel Tree tags, putting up Christmas trees to place the tags and then gathering and delivering gifts. She serves 20+ families each year through this program she started just from seeing a need in the community. She says if there is even one kid that needs it, we do it! Some years her own family is the one needing help, but she instead chooses to bless the lives of many, many others with no recognition whatsoever. This year she had a major surgery right in the middle of Angel Tree, but she didn’t let it slow her down for a second. She’s incredible and has a heart of gold.
We believed that Jody needed to be recognized so we surprised her for Feel Good Friday! Check out the video in the player above.

The world needs more Jodi's❣️ I know you don't like the limelight Jodi, but today is YOUR DAY & OUR TURN to say THANK YOU for all you do❣️🫂

[@christinablair1978]

I think that Secret Santa should keep her in mind. ❤

[@LisaRobson]

You may not like the limelight but thank you for what you do for your local community. Thank you also to whoever nominated Jodi.

[@critterscute3642]

Jody is so deserving of this recognition ❤

[@annemarieallaire6564]

You have amazing people in the community! Thank you Nate for highlighting such wonderful people. Jodi is so deserving!!🎉❤

[@susanstancliff2937]

So nice to see people get rewarded for doing nice things! It seems to just be in their nature to help others! I always think where would we all be if there were no Charities, no food banks no volunteers. Some go through life helping others and then find themselves in need. It’s nice to see the circle that keeps going around! Such a sweet lady! Thank you Nate and crew and Ashley for your work and being so generous and caring!

I think I heard enough of your blessings during the Daybell trials.

[@franceswatts4001]

What do you mean?

[@IbnBahtuta]

@@franceswatts4001 Sorry, which part didn't you understand Frances?

[@franceswatts4001]

@@IbnBahtuta your entire comment. What blessings did Nate give during the trial?

[@IbnBahtuta]

@@franceswatts4001 Where did I mention Nate in my comment? Please point it out to me. No, don't bother I've just read it and I never mentioned anyone other than Daybell. Are you visually challenged? I go to Specsavers, well actually they come to me on their housebound program, if you have them in EI perhaps they can help you. Nice chatting, goodbye.

[@thefadedone8192]

You have 100+ comments on this channel alone. I feel sorry for you that your life is relegated to youtube comment sections. Please go touch grass. And btw im muting this convo so any response won't be read or addressed by me. Good day.
