Young man born without feet is confused when we show up at school with a Secret Santa gift

[@angiecollier4206]

I NEED A FOLLOW-UP VIDEO WHEN HE GETS HIS CHAIR OR SCOOTER! ❤

[@dragonlover2085]

Yeah!!!

[@robertc49]

Same!

[@erinmyers8603]

Absolutely 💯

[@kimjones9468]

Definitely

[@laviolist]

100%

[@derekmills5394]

Nate you handle these situations perfectly - anyone else notice Nate asked "Are you Aiden" as if kids in wheelchairs with no feet are a dime a dozen - little things normalize situations.

[@marygoff3332]

Yes 😊

[@debraperdue9093]

Nate is good with people in all situations in life. Thank you Nate!

[@cathynewyork7918]

Yes! Nate gave the kid dignity when he asked that question. Nice!

[@mushroomhead3]

I have noticed the same thing! He's very good at handling these situations. It has to be shocking for an entire news crew to surprise you when you are least expecting it.

[@MadderMel]

I'm from Bristol in England , I've said in previous years , Nate is the envy of the World ! You are blessed to have him ! And off course Secret Santa ! And also Nate's team !

[@lawlesslove]

When he looks back at his Mom just melted my heart!

[@critterscute3642]

Best part!! ❤

[@jjellybelmo4]

His smile when he read the paper ❤️

[@marisuejames3366]

Aiden’s smile spoke volumes. What a humble young man.

[@marygoff3332]

He was also so excited about the gift cards - lovely! ❤😊

[@vertderferk]

When I was a young teen, my mother's health started to deteriorate. When I was a young adult, she struggled to walk a hundred feet. She was gifted a mobility scooter through a health program and they also paid for a lift on my vehicle. She had real freedom again for the first time in a while. I know what it meant to her and I wish blessings on this young man, and Secret Santa. Go, go, go!

[@mindymudge7247]

Now need to do feel good friday for his brother who is so sweet and caring of Aiden❤

[@lindat3607]

I agree with doing something for the brother ❤

[@michellerock3543]

Yes!

[@breadmakerbreadmaker5283]

So overwhelmed he couldn't speak. Thanks Secret Santa.

[@nicklager1666]

Families being in situations like this are often very strong as far as bonds goes between them. They know nothing else this is the normal state of affairs so to speak.

[@shaynaletter5589]

Nate, I was touched by your sensitivity to this lovely family. You are the best helper a Secret Santa could ask for. Thank you, Secret Santa for sharing with us all.

[@roddychristodoulou9111]

Can't blame the kid for being lost for words as I think most people would be the same .

[@VioletJoy]

I'm curious to know what he was thinking and what he'll be thinking after the shock wears off.

[@jasonpatterson9821]

Also possible that he has language or cognitive differences that make quick communication or expressing emotions difficult. He could also just be a quiet guy. :-) I don't intend any criticism of his reaction either way, of course.

[@teresam2261]

The smile on Aiden’s face is priceless! Thank you Secret Santa and EIN! ❤❤❤🎅🎅🎅🎄✝️

[@davidday8417]

Another tear jerker for me this young man was so overwhelmed that he was speechless !! I can’t think of a better person to give this to !! To this young man Merry Christmas and to his entire family god bless you and Merry Christmas as well !! To the Secret Santa Thank You I know deep down that this will help this young man tremendously !!

[@juliagrant3299]

I know! I've come to the conclusion that I will be having a good cry watching these videos every morning until Christmas.

[@whitenailsnguitars]

Mobility aids are a life changer. Seriously. This is fantastic.

[@MrsBrit1]

You gasted his flabber! 😂 That grin as he read the paper was enough, though. He's clearly not someone used to being the center of attention (or doesn't love being it), which is very relatable. I hope he's able to find a comfortable new set of wheels!

[@funsalmon]

gasted his flabber 😁 I'm stealing that, thank you

[@judyhayward6291]

Aiden was gobsmacked as we say over here! What a lovely surprise for him. God bless him and his family. And all of you connected with these surprises. Love from a wet and very windy UK.

[@pamprier4710]

@judyhayward It's been wet and windy here in Missouri, too.

[@fytghggyungf7601]

Is that what they say over there?!?! Wow, my whole life I thought the phrase was godsmacked! Learn something new every day

[@suehuman3076]

I live in South Africa, we have no snow or anyone who tries to be a Secret Santa, so I love this time to see Nate and the gang spread Joy, love and bless you all!❤

[@nicovantol7363]

I'm from Holland and we don't have Secret Santa,but there are simular people or companies that help out the way like Secret Santa !!!

[@carlj7466]

I live in Canada and same thing lmao

[@jacquelyngardner4932]

Great for the white family to be there. Awesome episode.

[@suehuman3076]

Sad to say here in SA to look after your family, not employees or even people in need (they are seen as a burden on our society) so hey, I wish we all fought the same fight, but not now, maybe one day, but not now.

[@faykouri1162]

We don’t have one in my country either Greece.

[@Harley_Vampy_Sis_Quinn]

As someone who uses a chair myself, my heart melted in a good way to see this precious child, get this. ❤❤❤❤

[@debraallen63]

You can See in his Eyes and his Smile what a difference its made already!!!! God bless him and his family 🙏❣️🙏 Thank you and blessings to Secret Santa, EIN, Nate & Crew and all involved 🙏❣️🙏

[@christinekillen3852]

are you able to purchase a scooter or power chair with that amount of money in the US? You definitely can't in Canada.

[@janicecanfield9211]

Mom, look what someone is giving me...that's what his look to mom said. Well, to me, anyway. A tough life depending on others so this gift is not just stress relief, this gift is independence !!! Nate, EIN and Secret Santa, well done.

[@valerielihou5494]

Aiden set those wheels on fire! Merry Christmas to this family, Secret Santa, Nate, and Crew. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Fantastic and absolutely deserved. God bless you Secret Santa 🥰

[@jeremywils5606]

I think this was awesome. I also feel maybe Secret Santa or your feel good Friday should do something for that Awesome brother. That mom and dad should be so proud of those boys.

[@UKsoldier45]

A lesson for all of us.

[@maryj2671]

Just wait till this boy gets his new scooter or chair to get around so much easier. I know it will change his life for the better. Thank you Secret Santa ! Your heart is so full of love and kindness. May God bless you !

[@VioletJoy]

Nate, you are such a good communicator. The way you are "present" during each of these interactions and word everything you say so carefully is impressive.

He looks a bit shell shocked with his gifts but his smile said it all he is obviously over the moon. 😁👍🏻

[@monsterzero760]

Thank you for his electric wheelchair. I will never understand what this sorry no good healthcare system is doing not providing this young man with an electric wheelchair already. It’s all about the dollar not about the patient that all she or he needs is just to get well and be able to function in society as we all do. God bless this young man and his family.

[@maryshaffer5675]

The today's government thinks 100,000 or more for transitioning children and adults is necessary.

[@owlthepirate5997]

Yes, and that's one reason that that people of united Healthcare just got killed and murdered.. people are tired of it.

[@liberalslayer9831]

You got that right. They want our money but they don't want to pay out.

[@sarahtiferet9025]

YES!! I think that often when i watch these. EVERY OTHER developed country has UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE . It's cheaper, better and NO ONE LOSES THEIR HOMES, SAVINGS, PENSION or LIVES if they can't afford the treatment = THAT'S MY DEFINITION of EVIL !!

[@patriciawhite6820]

It's called greed, and it's not just insurance companies.

Thank you Secret Santa. The boy was speechless. This will be such a change for his life. Wonderful. Nate, you are such a great person.

[@valerief1231]

I hope Aiden has a great time being a bit of a Secret Santa himself with those gift cards! My husband uses a mobility scooter, and at first he was REALLY self conscious, he was born with cerebral palsy, so he’s been using crutches his whole life so he was just hesitant, that is until we went to a flea market, I thought maybe going where he didn’t know anyone, he could try it out, if he didn’t like it, fine, we could sell it. HE LOVED IT! No one even payed it any attention. We just upgraded from that used one to a four wheeler, it’s much more stable than the three wheel one he had, it tipped over pretty easy. I hope Mr. Eaton can do a follow up after the holidays so you can show off your new wheels!

[@Jay-is2jy]

How much are they in your area?.. my dad got an electric wheelchair during covid and it was 69,000 dollars... it's was supposed to 30,000 but the supply chain issues made it more than double in price

[@SharonOtt-u6w]

What a lovely family. Happy shopping, young man. Thank you, Secret Santa.❤

[@antonchua3272]

it's getting better and better Secret Santa 🤶 thank you

[@ediebaxter4653]

Mom had wipe tears 😭 on her face. Brother and dad are appreciative of what was given to Aiden. Now, he can get a set of wheels. Place can figure out away to help family be able to load up on more than one vehicle. Sure parents are appreciative that older brother for yrs has helped with Aiden. God bless them and us too.

[@elizabethboulais8311]

Good morning from NH. The crawling must be embarrassing form him as he gets older. A mobility chair will be great for him. He will love cruising around in it. It’s a wonderful gift from Santa.
