The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.
Mary is essentially caught in a rock and a hard place. She worked as a computer teacher at Taylor’s Crossing for many years and put in many extra hours after school, weekends, and most summers with no extra pay.
Mary has a 22-year-old daughter who is legally blind and depends on her mother for everything. Her daughter has appointments with eye specialists at the University of Utah and in between visits, she does Telehealth to stay on top of her condition.
Her youngest son is in high school, and both of Mary’s parents live with her and depend on her for help. Mary’s mom has recently had two knee replacements, which have required physical therapy, and her dad has injured his knee. Mary transports them to all their medical appointments, not to mention all the other things they need as they age.
On top of everything, the only two vehicles she has are dying and require thousands of dollars to be usable.
She just found out that one of her cars has metal in the fluids and it will cost several thousand dollars just to pull the engine to see what the problem is. Her van is 25 years old with 372,00 miles.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to visit Mary with an early Christmas gift. Watch the surprise in the video player above!

Oh my, she was so genuinely happy to receive the car. She has a lot of people depending on her so it is extremely nice that Secret Santa decided to give her this gift. She wanted her Mom, Dad, and Daughter to all be part of it. Such a wonderful soul. Here's a virtual hug for Secret Santa. Your generosity is amazing. 🎅❤ Side Note: Nate and Helpers, I love your new Santa hats. Someone put a lot of work into those and you wear them well. ❤❤❤
