Greetings from Curaçao

@Rik Mehta and divide other nations

I cried the whole time. What an amazing young woman and family. Her Mom is very very proud.

Emily will always remind her about her mom.

When I saw that little one at the end, it really hit hard. It made me realize just how recent her mom had passed away & I thought the same thing about the little one doesn't get to know her. Then I thought about it & I realized that all six children are part of their mother so, yes he does get to know her. Plus I feel like Emily will tell her younger siblings all about her. 🙏💞💕💞💕💞💕💞🙏🎄🌟

@@goldierule1350 q

I thought exactly the same thing about the youngest. I’m crying now

@Amy Hansen, I agree. Since she is 13, I think they should have presented her with the gifts with her father present so she felt more comfortable accepting the generosity from a stranger. I know East Idaho News means well, and perhaps they spoke with her father off camera, but she is a minor and should have had someone she knows and trusts there, IMO.

Here's 5000 gift cards. Each for one dollar

Yes, I thought the same thing. She is definitely in disbelief so she's very guarded.

You must never put your guard down. Satan gets no rest.

The fact that the people have professional news gear covered in the logo of what is presumably a well-known news outlet in the area would probably make me more likely to believe that its legit.than some random unknown stranger.

💯

I think she’s seriously too stunned to say anything! I think she’s in utter shock. I would be!

@@debfox yeah definitely and i know she's super happy inside and just can't express it more because of the things that happened to them just this past year. I honestly would be in so much shock too if I was in her shoes.

💯. A friend who only wanted to shine the light on someone else. At 13 that shows character.

@@heidiritchie553 Major appreciation to "friend" and the character they have to spread joy to Emily.

@Rik Mehta and how does that have anything to do with the basis of the video - this is a story about giving from the heart, not political bashing. I'm not a Democrat, but to turn this video into a political issue is unwarranted.

❤❤❤❤❤

🖤

That’s awesome!! God bless this family and that sweet little girl ❤️

She also will be a great mom of her own children as she gets older I'm sure. God bless her family and God bless secret Santa. You are doing the Lord's work and He will reward you greatly 🙏

@@ChantehLAD 🤡

if youd switch out the words "american" and "chinese" you would all comment how brainwashed this comment is...something to think about.

@@WhiteColonizer clown ?? I'm not a patriotic American??!!

exactly I wish my daughter was like this assume responsibilty

Hey...I'm 72...and that had the exact same effect on me !

I'm 60 and didn't tear up, you wimp. Just kidding. :)

When you are the oldest of many siblings is just what we do. We are great like that. ,,,,

Just try holding Emily back!

Yeah I hope so too means I can't do f*** all with mine cuz of some f****** a******

Sticking your kid with your obligations is something you looked forwards to? There are plenty of grown ups that could help her. It's not the frontier days.

Well she really doesn't she has her own life and didn't inherited her obligations. Sure she has her share but it's not the 13th century.

Respect 🙏

yeah man i met this girl like 3 months ago who is just 19 with two sisters to take care of. She doesn't have a dad and her mom is still just lingering around and she doesn't always maintain a job long enough to keep an apartment. so they end up jumping from their aunties to random homes. It's honestly scary and i look at her. This 19 year old KID and she's working full time trying to get into college but she can't yet because she doesn't have a real address. Crazy stuff man and so far my sister and i give her rides to work when she misses the bus or knows she can't make the bus in the cold ect. It's intense stuff. We mostly help and try our best to help her maintain a job and not lose it. She is now moving into a small studio near her grandmas for 700 a month. Since they increased the minimum wage she will have about 900 to pay for food and everything her sisters need. Crazy huh? Like to me it's crazy cause at age 22 i was still in college just barely cooking for myself coming home to mommy during winter breaks. This girl is 19 with no parental help and her grandma is in this tiny studio that can't even fit more people. So she is forced to stop college and work and focus on her sisters. There is no doubt in my mind that the 3 of them would be in the streets with shady dudes or family friends if she didn't work so hard to keep that job. she never had a real chance to goto school so she dropped out to survive. It's honestly just crazy. So many people suffer but yeah my family and the next door neighbor helps her. We finally got her food stamp and she lucked out and got that 1400 stimulus check before it was too late 2 months ago. I think about what happens if she loses that and how 3 girls with an old grandma can deal with life with NO help besides shady drugged out people around them who were -ex-family friend. It's so crazy man it will take her a damn year to save up for a crappy car. Like my god some people realllly need help. We have 100s of more around me that i can't help and the system can't help if they have no address lol. ahhhhh where is all this "help money"going? We have freaking 19 year olds with no family with siblings to care for and they can BARELY get ebt for food support. I know too many people in a similar situation where they just need a LITTLE bit more help to help them go from check to check to being able to save for emergencies lol

@@tylerdurden7312 Interesting reflection on sense of responsibility from an early age on: the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award of the British Honours System: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RbS4Ivl85GQ.html btw this is an excellent documentary. (and yes Jeremy Clarkson can make great Docus). So we better take care of these young caregivers, they are invaluable to society.

Young woman? She's just a kid. Can't even shave yet.:)

Merry Christmas to you Barbara. How are you doing.

Not rare where she lives.

I’m so sorry for your loss……sending a hug…❤️❤️

it's called the lost years of merlin

@@haidaralhumaidialshumari868 nice work.

And the way he ran off like it was a real secret! Too funny 😂

very true but i dont think it's pride. many times big responsibilities feel expected and you do it without expecting a thank you. so when there is one, it catches people off guard

@@joosunkmybattleship good point, cheers

Nice though but isn't so much pride as we oldest siblings are just plain stubborn. Your welcome, now go brush your teeths.

God doesn't exist and is not real.

@@albertochoa7331 Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass and that's the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold says so.

@@dabadguy7882 Prove it or shut up. The sad fact you take your insecurities out on people with faith, paaaathetic.

Ignore Da Bad Guy. He is just an atheist troll.

@@dabadguy7882 You will be dead by the end of this week. If that be the LORD will. Galatians 6:7. Be not deceived; GOD is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (King James Version.)

God bless you and your family as well, especially your mother. I will be praying for you. 🙏

God bless you and your family. I lost my mom to biliary duct cancer 9 years ago. Stay strong. Hug her and kiss her and tell her how much you love her as much as you can. A big hug to you. Prayers for you and her.

yeah both my parents r borderline cancer patients, you will be in my prayers, how old r you

@@barbaraverdoorn9076 Thank you Barbara.

@@rocioguillen751 Thank you Rocio.

POCA SI SORRY FOR YOU HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL NIW WITH YOUR HEALTH N MAY YOU BE BLESSED WITH All GOOD THINGS IN LIFE

Losing a parent at a young age is a singularly unique challenge. I know. My condolences to you.

r you russian

Emily is a beautiful young woman. And I loved her brother's answer, "a book". He's smart and fast on his feet!

She shouldn't have to be an adult. Dad needs a new wife.

@@anthonythomas1504 while that is true it is not that easy anthony. he did not lose his wife all that long ago for one so her death is still far to real to him i am sure.so he may not want another wife right away either. then there is the fact of all his children. how many women do you think are out there willing to jump into marriage with that situation? just so many variables involved and finding the right woman would not be easy...

She has the bed bath and beyond gift cards, im sure she's gotten herself something nice :). I hope the dad let her keep the bb&b gift card and maybe one of the Fred myer ones for clothes/nick naks💛💛

i’m also from QLD 🔥

@@chelsea7298 Onya Chels'. vote for Bosi mate.

@Rik Mehta I asked

I’m from QLD too 🦘🦘🦘

it's nice to meet God for the righteous

Very sorry to hear that, it's tough losing a good friend.

Yeah I see a picture don't donate too much on helping senior citizens in China full price for everything except the soup $1,150 on a generator fuel for a week and two days $1,300 almost the park next to a Sasso then no he can't use the bathroom sitting your PCS don't tell me Christmas will be a little nicer this year we'll meet pick a running shoes so we can run faster to get the f*** out of here enjoy the smoke or was that Earth wind and

I pray with you 🙏 If there is anybody out there, who can help you, please help 💖 May you receive your own Christmas miracle 💖💖💖💝🎅

@@alpa5545 thanks so much I appreciate your words more than you know ❤️❤️

i've been homeless before for about 2yrs+, do you have like a social media account, will be praying for you

Praying that your fortune changes now. May God bless and strengthen you. Saying a heartfelt prayer for you right now.
