Secret Santa helps young widow whose husband died while swimming

[@archdalejoshua]

Wow, this series is like a Christmas present for the world.

[@lottasunshine1325]

Nice thought!

[@desireebailey611]

Well said!!

[@denise26100]

It really is. Probably gonna spend Christmas alone this time like too many others have to every year... but watching these warms my heart enough to get over the winter ♥️

[@afullchalicevlogs7979]

Seriously! I look forward to this every year!

[@lisarodriguez2926]

@@denise26100 Soraya, we are never alone. Keep the faith...I thank God everyday for the roof over my head and my pups since my young husband passed away 2 years ago. He's in my heart all the time❤ Take care 💛🙏

[@mikewrasman5103]

Wow! This is SO extremely sad that her husband died so tragically! For the widow to be doing most of the repairs on her basement (with the help of family friends) is unbelievable!

[@hersheychocolate7717]

As a young widow of 2 years, with 4 children the same age, I know every emotion she was feeling, my husband died in an accident, the shock and numbness, she's a strong woman, I also do everything around my property, repairs etc.,many prayers sent her way

Sorry to hear that, Prayers to you and your family, keep your head up and stay strong.

[@anntrope491]

My father was killed when my two brothers, & I were very young...we were 4, 3, & 1. This is tough, but must be faced ..one day at a time. Your husband/father would not want you to succumb to grief. ..but try to find , & bring peace, love, & joy to your lives. It will help your children if you keep their father's memory alive by maybe making each a photo album with pictures of them together, & words from him to each child...to remind them of his love, & the precious memories ,& experiences they had together...maybe this could be a family project. I had no conchious memories of my Dad, & only one picture, & my mother never spoke of him...the only words of me by my father...were gifted to me by my Aunt. My mother did get us a dog, & that helped me, & was a comfort. I'm sorry for your family's loss, & pray you will be given what you all need to go on with living life fully...bless you all.

[@terrylancey5451]

Poor lady. She's so you to have to raise for children alone. Thank you Nate, helper, and secret santa for helping this wonderful family.

[@madhousetas]

Once again dear Secret Santa, you can see the impact of your generosity. Thank you so very much.

[@lindsay3698]

I am from Nova Scotia Canada and lopk forward to this every year

[@dhannaecg]

You can tell that she’s emotionally exhausted, it’s absolutely heartbreaking. It’s so nice to see someone step up & offer a little comfort.

[@Paineinyourblank]

I cant watch this video because Its just too hard. I lost my husband earlier this year unexpectedly and its still hard to even think about without bursting into tears. I wish this woman nothing but the best in the future and am happy she received the blessings she needed in this tough time.

[@zuzilezungu5899]

Prayers and strength to you Jessica 🙏 ❤️ and your family from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@mariasant7810]

Love and blessings to you and yours❤️

[@cnatview]

So sorry for your loss, Jessica....May the love of your family and friends carry you through these difficult days. Take care.

[@perezynkrs1]

It hurts when you lose someone you love but what they taught you will last a lifetime I hope she's doing better

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I love that a picture of her and her husband were shown. Merry Christmas.

[@verreal]

She looked like she was going to cry as soon as you said "Secret Santa." This just makes me cry every time.

[@JennyWren333]

Such a handsome young man…So heartbreaking…my own daddy died at 42 with a massive heart attack, God bless Mom and her sweet little family! Prayers!

[@50sRockChick]

Aww how sad, but again secret Santa has made life a little easier for her family. Imagine being able to help so many people this way. Not only helping people in East Idaho, but for everyone watching these videos daily too.

[@nurse580]

ANOTHER young ‘sudden death’ that rarely happened before 2021. So tragic. Love from a retired RN in Australia

[@flatwater5]

Thank you all for looking out for this good woman and her family. May God bless and keep her, light her way and clear her path, and may Almighty God rain unending blessings and abundance down on our "Secret Santa!"

[@Doug791]

I think The Almighty may have taken care of the last part of your post. As for the first part , lovely words and I couldn't agree more. Have a safe , warm and happy Christmas.

[@flatwater5]

@@Doug791 Ha! I think you're right. Wish you and yours the best Christmas imaginable.

[@trr4488]

How did they look after anyone when others provide the gift?

[@loveforeignaccents]

How devastating for this young lady to lose her young husband and for their young children to now have to grow up without their dad. I hope God gives them all the strength they need to turn their tears of sadness into tears of joy over the many happy memories they created together. Her daughter is adorable -- as are all of the children in the photo they displayed -- and the dog is a little cutie, too! Thanks for blessing this family, Secret Santa. I'm sure she will be in happier spirits, at least for many moments, once the basement is done and furnished.

[@susanxyz5730]

Young men should not be dropping dead. This is not normal, really grateful for this series for the kindness. 🎉

[@heartsofgoldenrod]

From the moment you asked how she was doing, I could tell she really really needed that hug. Glad you finally offered it! Thanks Nate and crew for helping spread holiday cheer! ❤️

[@adedam7700]

Its nice to be Important, but more important to be Nice...

[@VioletJoy]

My heart goes out to this young mom and her children. No doubt this generous gift will help alleviate some stress so they can focus more on just spending time together throughout the holiday season. ❤️

[@kathleenardrey5094]

Thank you Secret Santa, for easing the burdens placed upon this lovely mother and four children. How the EIN elves do this without crying each time is amazing. May this Mother Sierra and those children adapt to their new family unit; peace for all.

[@Chahlie]

I work for a catering company and we often end up in tears at weddings- I suspect these elves also shed some tears :)

[@Sirtomalot-c5s]

So sad and yet so wonderful, what a set of emotions that young lass has to deal with. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindaagee5880]

I love Secret Santa. He brings so much Joy to the people that watch this.

[@ricekilo9122]

It's really touching her emotions just hit different

[@paulwhite2533]

wishing you the best, young lady, at this difficult time......only time can begin to heal.....she's still in shock

[@geoffpoole483]

Her husband's sudden and unexpected death is probably harder to deal with than if he was terminally ill. What happened to the family is still very raw.

[@ONNpankaj]

Secret Santa great work for humanity & appreciate you and Love from India 🇮🇳

[@evelynherrera-gonzalez1474]

God bless this strong and beautiful mother. Her husband is watching over her and their beautiful children.

[@richardhargrave6082]

From what we could see, they have a lovely home, an unfinished project brings you down, especially under such tragic circumstances. The basement being finished will lift her heart a little, hopefully for a long time to come. Its a gift that is virtually priceless. Bless her and her family

[@homeworshipwithmartyandamy7754]

May this woman continue to be blessed knowing that people do care.

[@Mark-ln6lt]

Feel very sorry about the mother and 4 kids who are going through a hard time since her husband passed away and hope that the gifts from Secret Santa will help them with the gifts they got. What a wonderful wife and looking after her kids.

[@susanclow5384]

I can tell she is still in grief. That has to be so hard to lose a husband at such a young age. The kids lost their father too. What a nice gift and now she can hire someone to finish the basement and also get furniture for it. Bless this family and their loss.

[@jimmylittle9393]

The stories make me so sad, but seeing their faces light up even in such troubling times is so heartwarming. God bless everyone involved and everyone watching, best wishes for the holidays!

[@ashleynicole3499]

This one hour me hard. I lost my son unexpectedly in September. He was only 1. The pain is indescribable but seeing this and the relief on her face as she opened it brought me to years. Secret Santa you are truly an angel on earth

[@cnatview]

@ashleynicole3499...Sending you my love and hugs. I lost my son some years ago before he was the age of 1. It was around Christmas time and even today this time of year is still difficult for me to navigate through. Just know you're never alone. I hope your days are soon a bit brighter. Take care.

What a tragedy for that young family, to loose their dad/husband so suddenly and tragically.

I’m certain this gift will lift all their spirits and help to make what will be a difficult Christmas without him, a little less stressful and happier. The loss of a loved one is terrible and all the firsts, are the worst ever. I pray they can find peace and make some happy memories.
