He was about to start dialysis when we showed up with an incredible gift from a Secret Santa

[@macsloan58]

He was clearly tired and not feeling the best. The quiet and reflective “thanks “ was genuine gratitude.

[@Farmergirl7]

This starts Christmas for me. I watch everyone. Secret Santa really makes a difference in people’s lives. Thanks to the person who is the Santa and thanks to EIN for the compassion and kindness in delivering the presents. You all make the world a better place. God Bless.

That's why I watch East Idaho News.

I've been watching and loving secret Santa for years but this one's special. Talked to my dying brother 2 hours before he had tunes pulled. He's going to be interned at Arlington for his lifetime navy service. I pray this gentleman gets a kidney. Prayers please for Micheal Robert Zink. Thanks!❤

[@Dakotaman2003]

I have a real soft spot in my heart for transplant recipients and dyalisis patients. My brother and sister had kidney transplant and they along with my father underwent dyalisis and i also temporarily 4 years ago for 8 weeks when my kidneys shut down. It isn't fun and takes a lot out of you. Thank you Secret Santa and Nate with your crew. You give new hope and love to us all!

[@shaynaletter5589]

I needed this today. Thank you Secret Santa, and all your helpers at EIN.

[@kellistern816]

From Australia, I send my best wishes to that dear man, and hope that he has success finding a donor! I donated one of my kidneys to my youngest daughter 5 years ago. It is an honour and a blessing that I was a match for her - and now, she is a new mother herself, giving birth to her first child last June. 💚💚💚

[@deborahaviles708]

This time of year when I get to watch Secret Santa with Nate and the crew lets me know that there are people who really care about others left in this world. I think if we stopped focusing on ourselves and what we want and start focusing on what other people don't have and that we might be able to help with. God bless all of you!
