Parents of 12 break down sobbing when they discover what Secret Santa has 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.
Misty and Ben Ashley have 12 kids between the ages of 17 and one. Many are adopted or in the process of being adopted due to special circumstances.
Both parents work extremely hard. Ben wakes up around 4 a.m. and doesn't get home until after 10 p.m. some nights. Misty works in the evenings and gets home around 1 a.m. They never complain and always have a smile on their faces.
The Ashleys got a 15 passenger van from the junkyard a few years ago but it's broken and has been sitting in their driveway for months. They aren't able to travel anywhere together and need new furniture so everyone has a place to sleep.
Secret Santa heard about their circumstances and asked the East Idaho News elves to surprise them. Watch the video above to see what happened!

[@Iluvantir]

​@@ZekeMagnum Well, aren't you the shining light of love and compassion! I think, to any orphaned child, a loving home with food on the table but worn out chairs is far, FAR better than remaining in the system. And life is a struggle, for anything worth having or doing. If yours isn't, then it is far more likely you are the waste of time, not those fighting to do what is right.

What an extremely humble family, so deserving of such awesome gifts. Taking on 12 kids that aren't all your own blood and raising them as your own, thats a superhero right there. So happy for them all!

[@martina5296]

12 well behaved kids in one family is a joy to see. They were also overwhelmed. Hardworking parents raising pretty good kids. Wish them ALL well.

Thank you, Secret Santa. Sending love and blessings from Jerusalem.

You can tell how hard that man works which is why he was so emotional. So much weight was taken off his shoulders with this gift. Well done secret Santa x

[@elle5031]

Most people I have ever known LOVE being from a big family...

[@amrbgc1736]

Seeing a man talk about emotions is so rare these days. So seeing this man SHOW his feelings melted my heart. You can physically watch the weight of the world come off of his shoulders. Bless this family with all of the riches the good Lord can give them. Safety, health, love and prosperity to all from Illinois 💕

Thank you secret santa and EIN . Stay safe and stay blessed.

Boy, the cost for one of those 15 passenger vans…! Mom and Dad were so overjoyed by the furniture, and then to get the van! What an incredible load that had to remove from their shoulders. I have this vision of them packing that van full of camping gear, loading up the whole crew, and enjoying a week together in a national park (or two) this last summer. What an amazing gift from Secret Santa!

I LOVE seeing a man, A FATHER, feeling safe enough to express his emotions. That is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Men should never feel ashamed to cry, to laugh, or to feel!!!!!! Xoxoxo 😘😘😘

[@vanessabunnie9262]

thats so true. all men should be like that. Jesus wept. the world we live in today wants men to act tough and like they have no emotions. i love a man who cries. its beautiful. just shows that they have a heart.

[@heather7768]

Yes it shows how much love and gratitude he has and it's a wonderful thing ❤️

[@jasonrunyon2663]

@@vanessabunnie9262 So true. I agree. I am a country hick, but let me tell ya. My heart is very soft. Especially whwn it comes to families who are in need!!!!!

[@cynthiamgrooms8195]

I was thinking along the same lines, only with the thought that they are Blessed with a Real man/Dad, who is Obviously teaching Beautifully by Example!!! Hard working,surely sacrifices much for the Love of his wife & children, Proud to be supporting his family, yet realistic knowing that doing it alone would take away from the family, not afraid or embarrassed to show emotions, Humble,& Grateful!!!

[@jamieharknett9620]

A lot of men don’t cry because we have been socialized through over many many generations to send ourselves and our sons off to war, and to make other sacrifices as well. In a lot of cases women will choose men who are more stoic than those who express their emotions. I believe that is changing though :)

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

That van will last them until those kids are grown and have kids of their own, so that's an amazing gift.

Secret Santa, my mother died Christmas eve, my sister recently passed away, my wife of 54 years and I are home alone on Christmas day and you just brought good tears to my eyes. I hope you know that your generosity goes a lot further than your gifts to these people. THANK YOU!

This is a wonderful gift. My children and grandchildren all live out of state. I have not spent a Holliday of any kind with them for years. My eldest says that children grow up and go on that it is natural. It may be natural but it sure is lonely at times. Friends don’t make the diffference!

[@loveforeignaccents]

Well, it was apparent pretty quickly that the dad wasn't going to be able to hold back his emotions, but when Mama Bear broke down after seeing the van, I just lost it. And all the love and support the kids were displaying was just so touching!! They were such appreciative recipients, you could certainly tell. Wishing them all the best Christmas ever!! What a great looking -- and loving -- family!! Thank you for blessing them, SS!!

[@baugust4775]

I know this family personally and misty is a rock ( not easily moved to tears) i was the same way. I saw ben cry and was touched but when misty started i lost it. I dont think i have seen her cry before

[@tryingndoing]

See how sweetly the little girl is looking at her mom as she cried. Joy! Joy! You can hear the bells of Christmas ringing. What a perfect gift for these awesome people!! Huge thank you to the miracle maker, Secret Santa! Merry Christmas!

[@edwardmylnychuk5774]

when you see all the garbage people being exposed on the net and i mean garbage, it is so refreshing to see a loving family like this and get the help they need to live a live with some necessities that help them. it just shows how love conquers all regardless of circumstances. like someone said, this man and women are angels sent to help others in human form

[@contentedspirit9022]
