Secret Santa surprises single mom at work with $20,000 check!

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.
Tifani is a single parent raising her son on her own since he was born. Her son was born with a serious heart condition that has made parenting more stressful and demanding for her.
Tifani completed cosmetology school while working and then enrolled in college to be a Certified Medical Assistant. She continued to work at a local medical practice to earn enough money for a home. She completed the CMA classes and bought a modest home for her and her son.
Tifani then enrolled at Idaho State University to earn a degree as a registered nurse. She did this while holding a full-time job and being active in her church. She is currently enrolled in the RN program and continues to work.
Tifani has also cared for two minor relatives in need and she is working to finish her basement so their family can have a little extra space.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to surprise Tifani at work with a special gift. Watch the video above to see how it turned out!

Whoever this Secret Santa is, whenever their time is done on this earth, they sure won't be waiting long at the pearly gates. That's for sure.

[@classicwhitebread]

It's me. I'm doing it.

[@lulyyan3619]

So beautiful if it was done quietly and privately.

[@DaddyBear3000]

Some people are definitely worthy of an express queue.

[@mitchellwinks4280]

Preach!!!!!!!!

[@dondechello]

I was almost thinking it’s different donations made by business in that area for tax right offs but you can do some research and find out who owns east Idaho news and if any of those type of people perhaps would be financially willing

[@dw-nb2zh]

I get up at 5am every morning, grab a cup of coffee, and check for a new Secret Santa video. Best part of the day!

[@stormcry8202]

I do the same. I get up at 3:15am, work a 12 hour day making Covid-19 testing materials, then get home at 5:30, and get my daily dose of Secret Santa/Nate :) I love this season

[@sandy-quimsrus]

I love this stuff. Nothing is better than helping people.

Oh I agree, i'm in bad health and lost a lot, but I don't care about me so much. I am blessed by God to have what I do. I am in a house with a good computer and can see these wonderful videos.

And he's like, ".....watching KZbin videos to figure out how to do it...." O.o :D HE IS THE ALL SEEING EYE. HE KNOWS ALL......

There are so many gentle souls out there that are deserving of these gifts. I hope a friendly contractor that sees this can help her out on getting that basement.

Good day east Idaho......much love from Oregon❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚

Sweet and kind - I love how Nate doesn't drag it out, they aren't made to give their sob story or anything. So respectful, so helpful, great way to do this for people who need this 💙 Inspires others to go do their own good deeds - just what this world needs! Hoping to see an animal foster/shelter/sanctuary place get some love, they are all struggling this year due to no fundraising events. Im loving all the secret santa videos this year, great work 💙

[@li-anderker55]

We had a food drive at work, my contribution was cases of canned dog and cat food. People who struggle have pets too. 💕

Wow that is amazing how she handles a lot and so much to juggle and still keeps her cool amen 🙏 this is truly a blessing ✝️

[@craig4451]

Work, school, kid with health issues, construction in her home by herself and she says "life is good! busy!" . Why can't more people be like that instead of sitting on their couch demanding the gov. give them money, food, shelter for free w/o wanting to work for things. So much entitlement in today's society it is nice to see someone with ethics and positivity!!

She is so deserving! God bless her & her son!

I watched these last year and was thinking then what a wonderful person who has become the secret santa..someone who wants nothing in return, but happiness for others. I'm not in a position to help anyone else right now..but I have my basic needs met..some ppl don't even have that..if I'm ever in an opportunity to help someone else financially I certainly would 💯 🙏..God Bless this woman and the Secret Santa..we have many "Wealthy" ppl in Delaware where I live and wish ppl would seriously consider this.

God wouldn't it be lovely if there was a secret Santa in every town we lived in. I know what it's like to be one of those people fix it and struggle every year I cry myself to sleep on the holidays because I have no family near. I barely can afford food for myself. I make just enough to pay the rent over my head and buy the Necessities to live. Although I haven't been able to afford a car in 3 years I walk or ride my bike to work daily rain or sun. I have reached out so many times for help. But yet I still sit in my living and crying daily weekly just hoping that somebody might have a heart I'm just glad to see that there are still people out there that do I know it'll never happen for me but at least it's out there happening Merry Christmas to those just feel the need to help others God bless you
