The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.
In 2019, Ryan had a stroke and was not expected to live. Doctors told Jenni to take him to a facility in Utah where she worked with his therapists and doctors. She has tirelessly stayed by Ryan's side until he was able to go home.
Before the stroke, Ryan had just finished school and got a job at the American Falls hospital as their CT Tech and X-ray Tech. In order to take the job, they had to live within a certain range of the hospital. They bought a house that needed some repairs, knowing that his income would be able to cover these expenses. Ryan is not able to hold a job now. Jenni decided to start online courses towards a medical degree.
Jenni makes sure all of Ryan's needs are met. Jenni does it with a good attitude and is always finding time for her neighbors and extended family.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Jenni and Ryan a visit with an early Christmas gift. Watch the surprise in the video player above!

I enjoy that more and more people know the second they open their door who Nate is and why he is there! I would be sobbing just like her, thanks secret santa

Secret Santa so gets it. Thank you for your generously if you’re reading this.

For so many of these people, seeing Nate & Co in Santa hats must feel like the cavalry has finally arrived!

Secret Santa picked a very deserving couple. Well done.

@tonygring5533 7 месяцев назад

You can tell by her reaction but she needed that more than most people will ever know

@daniwarren8642 7 месяцев назад

Secret Santa, please let Nate go back to give her a car tomorrow ❤️

@TheSteflou64 7 месяцев назад

Yea-I wish she would have gotten a 🚘 car.

@ravenbonanza1522 7 месяцев назад

The person who submitted to SS about their story didn't say they needed a new car. The letter stated the couple had been in rough times.

@tdelphia1 7 месяцев назад

Yeah....I bet that was a little tough for Secret Santa to hear how much a new car was needed because I suspect he'd have gone that route if he knew.

@mshockey73 7 месяцев назад

@@tdelphia1 Yes, I'm sure he would have.

@elliesouza717 7 месяцев назад

I doubt that's possible. I'm sure it's been very carefully planned before they begin giving anything out

@debsmith4058 7 месяцев назад

If Nate and camera crew show up Secret Santa is making differences in so many lives. Blessings to all.

@joycekane9024 7 месяцев назад

these videos are perfect for making you think "gee, I'm pretty lucky and I'm grateful for all I have been given". Appreciate every day you get people. Every day.

@Psychiatricnerd 7 месяцев назад

Also makes me realize how many hurting people there are in the community. I live in a much bigger city than what they cover and there is so much hurt and need in these small communities. I can only imagine what it’s like in bigger cities.

This one gave me leaky eyeball syndrome❤ I'm so grateful for secret Santa putting good into the world.❤❤❤❤ 🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️❤️🇳🇱🇳🇱

@contentedspirit9022 7 месяцев назад

I have the same syndrome and have noticed it's a seasonal thing. Must be the weather or something. The part I can't seem to figure out is why this leaky eyeball syndrome gets worse when I watch these videos. Weird. These are wonderful videos though, so I guess I'll just deal with the syndrome. Thanks for the smiles. That's a perfect description.

Sending my prayers to her her husband and Their kids if they have any❤

@alexanderifinae6207 7 месяцев назад

Jenni and Ryan, I don't know if you'll ever get to see this but I felt compelled to share my story with you. My mother had a stroke almost 20 years ago and was given a 10% chance of surviving surgery. When she came through we celebrated but it was a struggle. She was the main income for the household and she had a goldfish memory, completely lost reading comprehension, and was severely physically weakened on her left side. We were told that she would likely be disabled permanently. There's a memory loss medication called Arisept (spelling might be wrong) that helped her regain her short-term memory. She struggled through PT and did facial exercises in the mirror daily to work on the droopiness. It might seem pretty bleak at first but my mom is physically back to normal and fully mentally capable now (despite losing reading comprehension) and has been for the last several years. It will be a journey but when you're finally out the other side each moment of the day becomes a beautiful gift. The small annoyances won't matter as much. It might seem to take forever but I hope you both see that day soon. Never lose hope 💜

@desireebailey611 7 месяцев назад

@deborahaviles708 7 месяцев назад

Everyone is soooooo deserving of their Secret Santa gifts, but you can tell by this woman's reaction how dire her situation was. Tysm for all the gifts you bestow upon these people who need help so badly. Whomever secret Santa is, tysm for every cent & every gift you give & ty nate & Co for making it all happen. Also I have to know what Nate dues not to break down crying!?!? Maybe that's a secret too?? Love to Secret Santa & all the people he helps as well ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@xo2quilt 7 месяцев назад

The car is a good place for leaky eyes or maybe he shares these with his family every day and can have a good cry with them!

@cyndiwilkins3585 7 месяцев назад

Happy tears 🥲 Secret Santa God bless you!

@buzzyboo6673 7 месяцев назад

Just think how many families this extremely generous Secret Santa is helping. Not only is he/she changing ther lives financially but he/she is giving them hope which is priceless. Now, just think if others who are financially able would do the same thing in their communities. ❤🎅❤

@LizaFergison 7 месяцев назад

That really made me cry. She was so happy to receive such generous gifts. I hope Secret Santa knows how much he is changing lives for the better.

@urielgrey 7 месяцев назад

I always appreciate how Nate adjusts himself to wherever the person is emotionally and can handle. His kindness shines through and I so appreciate it. That money is such an ease of burdens and I'm so glad they were selected. Thank you Secret Santa for your kindness. Watching these makes me cry but also hope in how you have lessened peoples burdens.

@Samrules4ever 7 месяцев назад

Wish she could get a car because she said she needed it. But she seemed so thankful. Life must be hard, really hard. God bless.

@layalaya9367 7 месяцев назад

Personally, I doubt if she could afford the upkeep of a car. I am sure she is happy with what she received.

@macsloan58 7 месяцев назад

Her reaction is worth a million smiles (and tears.) That is what true appreciation must look like. “It’s real.”

@veronicaroach3667 7 месяцев назад

To be honest this business of giving money away to people who need a helping hand so badly is the most wonderful thing to watch - we all give a little to charity but can you imagine how it would feel to be able to plan a regular period of helping people like this - that would be such a blessing for any wealthy person - many of whom do very little but spend it on themselves - Bah Humbug to them - think about what YOU could do for so many in need !

You could literally see the wave of relief wash over her when she saw the check and a small piece of the burden she's been carrying was lifted off of her. Secret Santa is such a gift to the Idaho community, this is my favorite part of the Christmas season every year.
