Father of 4 paralyzed after slipping on ice is stunned when Secret Santa has gifts delivered to him

[@jorgelopez8675]

Amazing guy, he MUST've had a wonderful life previous to the fall.

[@mph1ish]

Seems that he still does!

[@madeleinephipps8334]

Wish you and your family all the best!

[@larrykaufman8100]

Prayers for his recovery!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@itsdylanjenkins]

He didn't cry because he was getting a lawn makeover or because he was getting a new mower. He cried because they gave him the ability to do something, anything , to take care of his family again. You made him feel useful, when he felt we was not. Thank you.

[@iainhittel]

As a man who has had 6 years of awful health issues, I lost my business, my marriage failed, my mind deteriorated. I have 2 young kids and my Aussie shepherd. I have worked my ass off to get better, stayed focus, tried everything and anything and I am finally on the road to recovery. A man needs a purpose, a man needs challenges, successes and failures. When men do not have a purpose they turn to drugs, alcohol and depression...suicide. Any purpose one can have in life is essential to who we are. Best of luck to this man and his family.

[@AlaborJinta]

he didn't cry, period. watch the video

Its seems like everyone in Idaho has a very good attitude and just absolutely lovely people. If it werent for such bad winters for drivers (truck driver here) I would love to move there. Im just a silly goose and a black sheep. No pun intended.

[@yourkiwimate]

hes a great example

[@AnatomyLab]

Go Justin! Stay positive! You ll get better by the day!

[@MaioFourpaws]

Praying for you and your family. I fell off a cliff 50’ onto ice (frozen lake) and broke my spine too. I was also paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors told me the same thing. After a long hard road I made a full recovery, can walk and have use of all my limbs. Never give up and listen to your intuition about what movements you need to do, in addition to your therapists and doctors of course. Our body talks to us. Don’t forget to listen. I will keep you in my prayers, as well as your family. Hugs and love from Canada

[@robbiemarcum8878]

Thank you for sharing your amazing story. I am so happy for you that you have recovered so much.

[@monicakimsey5664]

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sure that’s encouraging to him to hear from someone who has been through a similar experience.

[@river8760]

@MaioFourpaws wow, glad you’re doing ok after that! Were you rock or ice climbing?

[@technoshaman001]

how did you fall off of a cliff, where and when?! glad you are okay.

Hallelujah! Praise God!

I love hearing about God's miracles, especially at Christmas. The greatest blessing & miracle of all, Jesus...

[@pannamal5182]

He is blessed to have this caring and loving wife.

[@SeanFry-z1g]

More people in this world should have his attitude. Be grateful for what you have.

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

What an amazing attitude this guy has. Keep up the physical therapy, Justin. You've already proved the doctors wrong, now keep going. Determination and positive attitude will get you there. Wishing all the best for this family. Thank you, Secret Santa, Nate and Helpers. You really make a difference for those who need it.

[@lindaopperthauser2284]

I agree completely!!

Please, Nate, would love to see a follow up on him!

What a humble man. Bless His Family.

[@nataliesewell144]

Whenever I have a problem, I watch one of these and realise I have no problems at all. Secret Santa, you are an incredible human being. Much ❤ from 🇦🇺

[@Shinka666]

Same here, and if you watch these enough, there was actually an episode that they introduced the secret santa a couple years ago. Unsure if thats been deleted since but I remember seeing it and thinking he is an extremely kind man that just wants to give back to the community.

[@nataliesewell144]

@@Shinka666 I didn't know that. Thanks. Will try to find it.

[@Shinka666]

@@nataliesewell144 I scrolled back pretty far and could not find it but a few years ago there was actually a video that he was in explaining why he does it and how he has a team of elves to receive and read through all the submissions to pick recipients. Super humble gentleman that just loves his community. They've been doing this since 2015 and I've probably watched every episode.

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@Shinka666 Nah, heard the guy had passed long ago and it's actually some fund that they set up for this to carry on.

[@joycef8443]

Isn’t that the truth! I am so blessed

Things can be going along just great and some simple event can turn your life upside down. I'm so glad they were able to do something for him.

[@ashtonstout7375]

Justin is a beautiful human. I’m very happy he was chosen by the Secret Santa. His attitude and outlook is wonderful.

[@debraperdue9093]

May we all have his positive attitude. Thank you Secret Santa.

[@mcastanedajones]

JUSTIN this message is for you: DONT GIVE UP, keep giving 100% during your therapies, you’ll hit a plateau but it doesn’t means it will be no more progress. I woke up one day and 2 hours later I was completely paralyzed from the neck down, like you I was told I’ll never walk again and I’ll be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life, today I’m walking an a month ago I started driving again!! DONT GIVE UP, you’ll heard after 6 months there will be no more progress or after a year it will be no more progress, but it’s not true. Keep doing your therapy routine at home, that will also help you ❤❤❤❤

[@711yada]

Father, i ask for complete healing of this man. He walks firmly in Your path, with love, compassion, and care for others. Grant him complete and total recovery. In the name of Lord Jesus, thank you.

[@juliehillman8743]

What an inspirational, young man. Being told you will never walk again less than a year ago, to being up and about and getting around on your own. Just goes to show that if you have a positive, 'can do' attitude to life, you can accomplish anything. Good luck with your recovery and Happy Holidays.
