What a wonderful young man!! Immediately thinking of his mother and siblings instead of himself. A young man raised right and a credit to his parents!!! Thank you, Secret Santa!!

[@andrewdmello8817]

How come he's not thinking about his father. It takes two to bring a child into this world.

[@islgrl292]

He doesn't owe you an explanation. You Sure go negative, because people have nice things to say to a working kid!. Maybe there is a reason that dad wasn't first on his mind, maybe the family dynamics are about the kids, maybe like everyone else he is shocked, & all the words aren't readily there. Quita Bah HUMBUG aren't you? What were you doing at 20, & what would you have said for gifts broadcast on TV? Sounds like some misogynistic tendencies there sir,

[@traceejohnson290]

He never mentioned to help his father🤔

[@darcimunday4410]

Most 20 year olds think you owe them a living. Sitting around playing on their phones and getting everything for free from being lazy. And not wanting to grow up and act their age and keep themselves in diapers and still breastfeeding off of their Mommy's. And getting their butts wiped by their dad's. But being provided for.

@@andrewdmello8817 True but it's usually the mothers that do the bulk of the housework and childcare. Perhaps his family is "traditional" in the sense that the father works and the mother does everything else, with a little help from the children. Just my thoughts and I could be wrong. I speak from experience. Shalom.

Your making a grown man cry on TV, I’m glad I’m at home 😭 He was so grateful with $2k and they just kept coming…. Well done ❤ Y’all warm my heart to see such good done in the world !!! I have a special request, it’s not for me or even anyone I know but my heart breaks for those in NC and Tennessee who lost their homes, cars and jobs from the floods and are sleeping in tents, they are having very cold and snowy weather. There are people converting sheds into tiny homes so people have a warm safe place to live. I know it’s out of state but would secret Santa consider helping with building tiny homes ? God bless you all and thank you secret Santa, Nate and crew, you are changing lives ❤
