If he's eleven and the family moved from Ukraine six years ago, he likely would have been learning Russian in addition to his native Ukrainian back "home". Then he starts learning English as soon as his family moves here; that's three languages. Then, probably like many other kids here as they start middle school, he begins studying another language like Spanish or French as an elective, and there you have it--four languages. That background should certainly serve him well as he gets into adulthood.
This woman, Natalia, may be the most lovely recipient of any I've seen. She is beautiful and strong, stylish, gracious and humble, she's genuine, sweet and an absolute doll. All good things and love to you and your family Natalia! What a wonderful example of all that a woman can be! Just plain awesome!
Dont worry Natalia even if you lack the words right now, your face and body language express everything for you. The language of words will come in time as you live in Idaho with your two kids.
I became a widow at 40. My husband lost his job after being diagnosed with cancer, and all his insurance was through the company. Our savings were gone in a matter of months. We have 3 kids, two with special needs, so I was a stay at home mom. I cared for him for 3 years and he passed in our home. After his death we found ourselves very much alone. It's been a struggle but we get by, we don't have much, but we have each other. Seeing stories like these warms my heart, it's so good to see that not everyone is left alone. Being able to see love and hope given to those who need it so desperately helps to lift my soul. It reminds me that there are still people who care for others, that kindness and compassion does exist among strangers. ❤
Whenever I'm having a bad day and starting to feel sorry for myself, I'll watch one of these Secret Santa videos and remember there are so many others who are having a much much more difficult time. Thank you for what you do.
What's a bad attitude, I'm in agreement with tripdad and the extra is not only the Santa bit but also returning military and their proposals, Haven't seen any for about a year.
She and her children have a hard road ahead. You have given her a good start, she and her family will make it and will always appreciate secret Santa, She is a kind modest person glad she came to America we need more people like her.
@@sampatel5509 it’s good😂 having people with expendable income is a necessity in order for society to move forward. If there were no rich people then no one would take chances with new businesses and new products to create more jobs and more products.
I could keep the tears away until I saw the children, so glad they are being shown the love of a father, even though he is missing from their lives. God bless Secret Santa, he changes lives.
Oh yeah, I wake up every morning now and ball my eyes out to these! Best secret santa and news station ever! Heart goes out to this girl and her amazing family! Her husband is helping from heaven!
As a youngwidow myself,20 months since loosing my 31 year old husband in an accident, I feel her pain, I have 4 young children, the same ages as her 2, this was the first secret Santa that I have tears running off my face, this is like a hug from heaven for her, once she was alone I'm sure her tears flowed as well, so thankful and blessed for her,may she continue to feel the love and support from all around her
Very well said and my deepest sympathy of your loss, the angels will watch over you and your children, and the best angel is your husband. Merry Christmas.
"And now I must be nice to everyone in case they are Secret Santa" .... I think every American should take this to heart. This was my favorite one so far this year. Great job Nate, Secret Santa's elves and of course Secret Santa himself.
The world can always be better with this kindness. All the best to Natalia and keep up the miracle in East Idaho. Hopefully, more people can be doing these kind of kindness & love to others.
because the person who is behind it isnt the news station. Pretty sure he was a local guy who used to go around and hand out 100 dollar bills and the like around town and then transitioned it to having the news station do it once he was unable to do it or passed away and set it up for them to continue his legacy. I cant recall. But thats why because there arent extreme wealthy people all around willing to do this. I pray to one day be wealthy enough to do this kind of thing, it would be amazing. We can only hope to somehow make the world a bit better
In China, they recently made a law that some of the major companies (Tencent) have to contribute back to society. Tencent has a program that pays for the lunch of anyone who is a street maintenance worker. They can go to pretty much any restaurant, even some of the fancy ones are participating in the program, and Tencent pays for their meals. I think the US and other countries with extremely profitable companies such as Google, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, etc should be giving back to the people. I don't think a government should enforce it like China, but I think it would be a good example as a multi billion dollar profitable company to do something and give back.
The Ukrainian lady is such a sweet innocent soul,she deserves this car 🚗 and everything you did for her, terrible what happened to her.she is so thankful and genuine.hope her life becomes all that she wants it to become.
May he RIP and may the broken hearts of this family heal and secret Santa you didn’t just brighten this family’s day with this gift you brightened the days of many viewers it just goes to show in a world now full of hatred and discontent that there’s still a bit of love respect and compassion out there and THANK YOU for that
She is definitely one of the loveliest, most genuine and grateful people on Secret Santa. I can't imagine the pain and loneliness of going through her husband's death alone and having to carry on for the childrens' sake. Secret Santa is an amazing person - he seems to know exactly what is needed in each case. Natalia is a very deserving recipient of Secret Santa's generosity, and a very humble and gracious woman. May things only get better for her and the children.
Yes indeed, she is an incredible woman. So sweet and genuine. My boys and I lost my husband almost 18yrs ago. It was so shocking and devastating. I'm so happy that she is surrounded by so much LOVE ❤
Because it has been two hard years for everyone, and in a time when so many people are more selfish than ever, it is so good to see Nate and EIN are continuing to spread kindness and support to those who deserve.
“This is a big big thing 🥺” my heart. I’m from Western NY & look forward to these videos every year. I work alongside many Ukrainians & I’ve witnessed first hand their cultures love of family, and their immense work ethic. I know for a fact Natalia will take this gift and soar with it. She is so deserving.
Another deserving person. Why do people feel that they have to dislike this. Are they jealous? Yes, I wish it could happen to me but, there will always be someone who needs are greater than mine. Bless you Secret Santa, Nate and all the Elves!
Oh, wow, that was a beautiful one... I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time! I love when they write in afterwards too and you guys share that with us. Bless this kind woman and her wonderful children, not to mention Secret Santa, Nate, the whole EIN crew, and whoever is reading this too!!
Beautifully said…. whereas I am struggling to find the words or type due to my tears. Cheers from New Zealand … I got hooked on Secret Santa last year. Also, let’s thank whoever put forward Natalia… that was thoughtful because she and her children have experienced what we call Arohanui … love, in a practical manner. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿
it’s so easy to fall in love with this community. people seem to really look out for each other there. so heartwarming! i wish it were so easy to move there 😭
She deserved it and her children. I wish more and more Blessings for her and Protection. How I wish i can be a secret santa too but I cant, i am having a struggles too and hoping i can cope up with all my trials
I have never been so heart broken and Joyful at the same time. What a beautiful and sweet young lady and wonderful children. This one brought tears to my eyes , I wish Natalia and her children the very best in life. Merry Christmas to them.
Nate does it again. Just out in the streets restoring faith in humanity! Whoever this secret Santa is, year after year, you never cease to amaze me. I was so down on my luck after this pandemic hit and lost almost everything, but you know what...I'm alive, my kids are healthy, and I have a wonderful family who never gave up through it all. For that, I thank God and I'm truly blessed. To Nate, I don't know...I have few words in this moment, but you and this secret Santa are amazing!! Keep spreading love. We need more of it!!
This is so touching. Prayers for Natalia and her Kids. Prayers and thanks to the Secret Santa. May she Find comfort in knowing People do care and God watches over his Children. TFS. 🙏👍❤️👋💐
This is the most beautiful video! Natalia and her children are the sweetest family and most deserving of this secret Santa. Blessings to Natalia and children. Prayers for her husband. 🙏🏽💗
THIS MADE ME CRY. GOD IS GOOD. HEAVENLY FATHER HAD A CAR DELIVERED TO ME AT MY DOOR. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR IT, BUT IT DOES NOT MATTER. I WAS BLESSED TO GET A CAR INSTEAD OF WALKING EVERY WHERE. IM 62.
"Now I must be nice to everyone in case they are secret santa" Natalia has a great point and perspective! I never thought about it until she said it, but that's just another difference these gifts from secret Santa makes.
What a beautiful young family. It’s heartbreaking that she misses her family, that are so far away. God bless them and give them the strength they need right now. I know her husband would be so proud of her for all she is doing for the children. Thank you Secret Santa 🎅🏼 and Nate for making a difficult year a lot better. 🕊
Beautiful! I love Natalia's words that she now needs to be nice to everyone in case they are the Secret Santa! I hope and pray the best for Natalia and her children! 💜💜💜
She truly is a darling soul ❤️I feel the presence of God and her husband behind the spiritual scenes❗️Thank you Secret Santa ❤️🩷🧡for taking such beautiful care of this family. She truly loves her car 🚘 I just couldn’t stop crying. I know God was involved as she received a car that’s ideal and her favourite colour ♥️ Yay 😊
With how she both commented in person and in the email that the gift car was also her favorite color it is clear that little touch, be it deliberate or accidental or perhaps divinely inspired, brings her joy and lifts her spirits, kindness and gifts both have many dimensions.
Such an extraordinary human soul who chooses to use his/her wealth to bless other people in this way (very much including those of us who see these stories) 💜
What a lovely mother and beautiful children who endured such a heartbreaking tragedy. How incredibly sad that her husband and their father died in such a fluke accident. What a generous person to give so much to this grieving family. I love this channel. ♥️🎄♥️
I love to see how strong community feelings do you have in the US. We usually are so selfish and individualistic that we don't care about our fellow human beings. Seeing this family supported by their community (even though they come from another country and they only have spent a few years in the US) to the point of giving them a place to live and a car to drive just blows my mind.
From Italy. I'm so happy to see so much love pouring for your East Idaho community. I never been in Idaho and probably will never be, but knowing that there is love all around the world, that helps a lot in the struggle of life. Keep in going! Love from Venice Italy!
Oh,wow..I'm like Natalia. Lost for words. Secret Santa 🎅 is such a wonderful person ❤ And prayers 🙏 for 😊 Natalia and her children 🙏 That they will find happiness 😊 in the U.S.A. Thank you for sharing Secret Santa 🎅 with us 🇺🇸
Whenever my struggles seem unbearable and I feel alone I have these videos as a reminder that we all have our crosses to bear. Still the greatest country on the planet. God bless our American brothers & sisters 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
This is my favorite SS Video yet this year!! I'm crying loads here! From one widow to another, it does get easier Natalia. Hang in there and don't forget to lean on your neighbors when you need to! You are loved!! Congrats and that car couldn't have gone to a more deserving person!!
She's amazing. Still keeping her smile going, being super kind, generous, and humbled. I feel so bad for her losing her husband, but it makes me happy to see she's still going through with their dream.
I am from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and I can so relate to this story my mom was working as a 911 operator and her husband was killed in an accident hitting a train and she took that call mind you it was 48 years ago I was 5 months old my father also graduated the accounting field I am so happy this person was helped brought tears to my eyes wanted her to have a Merry Christmas and to those precious children.
