Secret Santa surprises man with new prosthetic leg and pays off his house

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 people as he can.
We will be surprising deserving people and families every day from now until Christmas with gifts unique to their circumstances.
Kerry Bailey worked as the head mechanic at Big O Tires for around 28 years to support his family. Four years ago, he ended up with blood clots in his right leg that led to an amputation below his knee. As a result, Kerry lost his job.
Due to the stump of Kerry's leg shrinking, he needs a new prosthetic leg to help him get around better and without so much discomfort. Kerry wants to support his family and always has a smile on his face.
When Secret Santa heard about Kerry, he asked us to go deliver a special gift to his family. Watch the video above to see the surprise!

Whoever this secret Santa is is truly a saint. Doesn’t even want the praise for what he does. What a role model

[@raymondcaylor6292]

That man had a hard time receiving those gifts. Men like that always do. That makes it more special to me.

[@justinstevenson2061]

Absolutely. And how he told his wife “this one was for me for my leg, but this ones for you” Just the kind of people we need in this world. Hardworking, kind, generous, and just humble throughout.

[@Tunapie]

Imagine they’re helping other people when they themselves are in need. This family deserves every good things in this world.

Apparantly, Jews fleeing from Nazi Germany (WW2 ) to England, said they got more given to them and help, mainly from the Poor.

[@johngalt8279]

The Choctaw people, after being ethnically cleansed from their Southern homeland and relocated to Indian Territory on their own "Trail of Tears" (losing thousands to disease, exposure, and exhaustion on their forced march), collected a sum of money from their own poverty-stricken people and sent it to the starving people in Ireland during the potato famine. The Irish people recntly erected a beautifu monument to honor the Choctaw people and their generosity.

[@justinm2697]

You can tell they are kind people simply by them inviting Nate and crew inside out of the cold without hesitation.

[@kspang656]

His reaction was real! He seems like a guy who isn't used to being the one who receives such gifts. God bless this family! ❤️

[@chayannewasawasa214]

He looks very, very, very humble.

[@judeless77]

You do realize that just because someone doesn’t react the way you would or you want them to doesn’t make it any less real, right? It’s not like you’re the police dog sniffing out real reactions.

[@DanSmithBK]

The god that you want to bless his family - is that the same, all knowing, all powerful god who took his leg away in the first place? I’m guessing he doesn’t want anything from that kind of god...

Isn't it time to put the "class envy" to sleep already? Who do you think came up with the $500,000? It certainly wasn't a poor person. There is nothing noble about being poor... and nothing evil about being rich.

[@moppetmaker]

In Canada a car accident or heart attack won't bankrupt you like it does to many people here in America. THAT'S the big difference right there and why I'd take Canadian healthcare over American healthcare any day. Obviously the wait times and non-emergency care is ass. But in America many of us are one random emergency away from being destitute. That just doesn't happen in places like Canada or the UK despite the other issues with their healthcare. American healthcare is indeed unacceptable for that reason alone. Crowder is a dumb fuck who lives in the pocket of the Koch brothers.

Then watch it, share with others, because many people they don't know it is pagan, let them know it is pagan, father christmas and Santa claus do they exist now where are they here on earth? Many people they say santa claus is demonic, and what does father christmas has to do with the birth of Jesus surely? God will judge father christmas people they love him, they don't love God which is not good, also they keep his ldols, hats, and dolls and christmas tree for what, and yet Jesus was not born on 25 december it is time for people to burn all those ldols, you should not throw outside because , people will take them, they will go to keep them, which is not good, also we should not celebrate christmas, valentine, and Halloween it is Satanic, be blessed Jesus is coming soon, don't celebrate christmas.
