Most importantly she is very lucky to have such a kind hearted friend that would do this for her at let her feel special and lift some of her sadness. Even though she doesn't show it as much as the others who received the gift from this year's secret santa. It's because of the shock and surprise from receiving such a gift that made her speechless and could only say thanks.

@Amy Hansen, I agree. Since she is 13, I think they should have presented her with the gifts with her father present so she felt more comfortable accepting the generosity from a stranger. I know East Idaho News means well, and perhaps they spoke with her father off camera, but she is a minor and should have had someone she knows and trusts there, IMO.

Not just this particular vid or family, but what really gets to me is young caregivers burdened with the responsibilities of adults and people with hidden needs, poverty (dignity, shame,..). You Secret Santa are incredible (apparently it is just 1 secret donor which I didn't know at first), so is East Idaho News. Already the Best Season Greetings to everybody.

yeah man i met this girl like 3 months ago who is just 19 with two sisters to take care of. She doesn't have a dad and her mom is still just lingering around and she doesn't always maintain a job long enough to keep an apartment. so they end up jumping from their aunties to random homes. It's honestly scary and i look at her. This 19 year old KID and she's working full time trying to get into college but she can't yet because she doesn't have a real address. Crazy stuff man and so far my sister and i give her rides to work when she misses the bus or knows she can't make the bus in the cold ect. It's intense stuff. We mostly help and try our best to help her maintain a job and not lose it. She is now moving into a small studio near her grandmas for 700 a month. Since they increased the minimum wage she will have about 900 to pay for food and everything her sisters need. Crazy huh? Like to me it's crazy cause at age 22 i was still in college just barely cooking for myself coming home to mommy during winter breaks. This girl is 19 with no parental help and her grandma is in this tiny studio that can't even fit more people. So she is forced to stop college and work and focus on her sisters. There is no doubt in my mind that the 3 of them would be in the streets with shady dudes or family friends if she didn't work so hard to keep that job. she never had a real chance to goto school so she dropped out to survive. It's honestly just crazy. So many people suffer but yeah my family and the next door neighbor helps her. We finally got her food stamp and she lucked out and got that 1400 stimulus check before it was too late 2 months ago. I think about what happens if she loses that and how 3 girls with an old grandma can deal with life with NO help besides shady drugged out people around them who were -ex-family friend. It's so crazy man it will take her a damn year to save up for a crappy car. Like my god some people realllly need help. We have 100s of more around me that i can't help and the system can't help if they have no address lol. ahhhhh where is all this "help money"going? We have freaking 19 year olds with no family with siblings to care for and they can BARELY get ebt for food support. I know too many people in a similar situation where they just need a LITTLE bit more help to help them go from check to check to being able to save for emergencies lol

I love that they balanced restaurant gift cards with gift cards for the grocery store and bed bath & beyond. Really encouraging her to embrace cooking as a hobby, something she can do that is fulfilling and not just a chore. She can buy new kitchen gear and cook as much as she wants for fun, but the restaurant cards make sure she doesn't have to feel obligated to cook all the time. Very cool way to encourage her hobby.

I took care of my siblings for a few years around 11 years old. Bc I was making food for my other siblings. Changing diapers, and making bottles I neglected myself and got super skinny and physically COULD NOT eat. Anything I would eat, I would immediately throw up bc of how long I went malnourishing myself. Losing a parent I’m sure is the hardest thing a child can go through, hopefully they can all heal from the pain, love each other and grow up to be healthy awesome people. God bless

To be a secret Santa it takes a good paying job to afford giving someone else something they need when they're not able to afford buying it or whenever they are struggling with a personal matter such as a death of a family member. These days people aren't able to randomly go and spend their money on another person in their community because the cost of living is getting expensive.

She has remained strong for her siblings and dealt with the loss of her Mother in a way that many adults can not.

so sad that little toddler boy will never know his mother except thru stories from the others. cancer sucks. I lost my mother to it at 17 and buried her on my 18th birthday because my abusive father wouldn't move the funeral by one day. it caused me mental anguish for at least the next 10 yrs every birthday. this year was 40 yrs without my mom. she was the best mom in the world and i have missed her so much. good to see this young girl who has had no choice but to step up and help out get rewarded with secret santa.

Wow I’m so sad for you 😔 That must have been and must still be so difficult. You are so brave and courageous for what you have endured. I know how much some things haunt me - like one simple word or thought will lead me to a traumatic memory, so when I think of how you must feel daily and how much you are probably reminded of your loss (especially on your birthday), really pains me. I don’t know why you had to go through that 😢 I pray you are ok today and that life blesses youv❤
