I was one of the officers who worked her Husband's case. She was such a sweet lady to work with and was so distraught. I am very glad she has gotten this. She deserves it.
Wow, thank you for doing such a difficult, thankless job! Please watch over this beautiful family, there is something very special about Maria, she is an amazing young woman. Merry Christmas to you and yours, sir!
@@aidenrasmussen2363 My pleasure! I'm so happy to know that you are protecting them. Thank you so much! Please let her know that people all over the world are praying for her & her family and wishing them the best of everything! God bless you and yours!
@@strongheartwoman1931 I will continue to pray for them. I sadly lost touch with her because I work with the Alabama State Police. She has moved to Idaho. But she will never leave my heart as I know the pain she goes through. If you see an officer on the streets, please thank them. They do the best they can. And if you ever get the pleasure to meet this woman, tell her Trooper Rasmussen says hi!
@@aidenrasmussen2363 Thank you for your kind answer! You are a very special man, your state is blessed to have you. ldaho is very beautiful, I drove through that state on my way to helping my best friend move to Portland OR years ago. I would love to meet her and Ethan but I don't think that will happen, as I live on my organic farm in western New York state.☹ I do thank police, firefighters and EMT's when I see them, I've also brought them cookies & coffee lol. Stay safe dear heart, and have a blessed Christmas! 🎄❄⛄🙏😇😘
I love that she said a thank you from her husband…”he not here, but he’s here” Betcha she’ll make a top notch, compassionate nurse. Merry Christmas! So deserving. Her happiness with these awesome and point on gifts just made me cry.
Oh. My. God. She’s wonderful. And that accent all the way up in Idaho is a riot! You just know she’s going to accomplish every single thing in life she sets her mind to. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what someone who is about to become an unstoppable force of nature looks like.
That photo at the end of the three of them, touched me to tears. She's right: her husband is watching over her and his son. God bless the whole family, including her mom.
@@kevinsavasci7311 I have a hard believing people watch over us but you never know, so don't go around saying things u don't know about just to be an a*s
I can’t stop crying now. What a beautiful gesture for a beautiful family. Thank you Nate and everyone else for all you do for people who needs it most. Thank you Secret Santa for being so selfless and so caring. You are an angel.
@@thiscatrblx9641 Also sending love from 🇨🇦 . There needs to be MANY more feel good stories like this coming out of America instead the doom and gloom broadcast every day. God bless you and your loved ones and God bless the U.S.A. ❤
When they say, “This is more then I need or I don’t deserve this,” it just tears me apart. These people need it and absolutely deserve it. God bless them and God bless the secret Santa who makes this possible.
These struggling single moms who are left under such tragic circumstances just break my heart. Secret Santa is a wonderful person. Thank Nate for being the best elf ever!
@@i.03983 LOL, Google says: In 2020, 54 percent of all people in the United States were covered by some type of life insurance, according to LIMRA's 2020 Insurance Barometer Study. (That is 177,930,000 signs to deal with.)
@@i.03983 Nah getting life insurance when your younger is smart. Especially ones with saving aspects. Any manner of disease can happen to a person while they are still alive..and try getting affordable life insurance then ..next to impossible and if you do get it the premiums are crazy expensive. I even started one for my child when she was little, she will have a paid off policy by 30.
You can tell she's the type that is going to wait to be alone to break down and cry because she's had to look like she's holding tough for so many other people. So I'll shed a tear for her 😓 Gods bless
Very true...watching these every day is so uplifting, wish they had stuff like this all year...I could watch them every day. When you work in a thankless job, coming home and watching some of these is very heartwarming and uplifting.
I like to thank we have many people in this world doing great things for others. They are just doing it behind the scenes. I've seen many great things in my life. I once saw a man come into Walmart and pay for everyone's items. My mom helped our neighbor everyday. And because of her help, our neighbor.lady was able to stay out of a nursing home. There are many great people among us all the time.
Don' t forget her mother. She is her mainstay in her grief and grieved herself for she lost a son and has grieved for not only him but for her daughter and grandson and relatives and friends. Death just doesn't affect just one or two people. Though the mother and baby suffered the greatest loss and I thank GOD for secret Santa and all that he does. And best wishes for this family. HEAVENLY FATHER, I pray they will put GOD first in their lives, in JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
It's late January 2024 and I'm still watching Secret Santa. I think your program is one of the most uplifting of all time. Thank you. And thank you to all who provide these gifts.
I know we're only here for a limited time on earth, but it's so sad when they're young and still at the beginning of their life. I wish her a wonderful Christmas, and that she enjoys every moment with her son.
A strong person. I have a 91 year old friend whose husband passed too at the young age of 25 to polio so long ago. She went back to her hometown with a wee baby. She survived to go on as will this young lady, always carrying her husband in her heart. Thanks Secret Santa.
I’m running out of tissues! I love Nate and East Idaho News, I’m from the UK and I watch every year. The way Nate does it is so gentle, he seems such a lovely man😘😘😘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Agree with everything you said......I'm even from the UK too. This segment really pulls on my heart strings but it's so amazing. For people going through such tragedies it must be lovely just to know someone is thinking of them x
@@50sRockChick He is isn’t he, he’s a lovely man and a great journalist too. I don’t know if you saw the work he did on the Lori and Chad Daybell case ?
O yes ,she will not TOTTOS no crazy earing in nose She spend her money for they little one and education 🌹🌹🌹🌹 Sorry ,do not like people spend money for stupidity 😡
She had me smiling so much my face hurt! She's been through so much in her life, yet still glows with positivity. What a blessed little boy to have her for his momma ❤️
Here comes the water-works again. I watch almost every single one of these vidoes, and I cry ugly tears every time. All of these people are so amazing & for secret Santa to want to help, is even more amazing. God bless everyone in this including the East Idaho News Crew. 🥲💙💙
What an awful loss of a fine man, husband, and father. Sad to see such a young widow. She and their sweet toddler boy have gifts to keep them going. May she carry on with the help of her mother and Secret Santa. Who's chopping onions in the kitchen this late at nigh?!!
Gosh I felt like crying for her with joy she really needed this. What a Blessing.. Who ever it is doing the GIVING YOU ARE THE BEST..TY ..and Merry Christmas
When I'm feeling down / sad all I need to do is watch a secret Santa video makes me feel good and the Friday feel good videos I'm in Calif and love to watch secret Santa u r a blessing to so many an earth angel sent from the heavens to so many oh and can't forget Nate u r the best secret Santa helper along with ur crew😊
What a sweet, humble young mother. Her son is adorable. Definitely another well deserved secret santa gift recipient. My prayers go out to her and her son during this new chapter in their lives.
Please let me be a better person and be able to help people! This is how life should be... helping those who are in need and deserve it! Merry Christmas
This just makes my heart break and burst with joy at the same time. I'm so sorry she lost her husband, but I'm thrilled she has support through this tough time. God bless her and her family. God bless Secret Santa and everyone else.
She seems to have such a pure and humble heart, that I can see her becoming a fantastic nurse! Hopefully, this support from Secret Santa will help her overcome the obstacles in her way, because she truly would be an asset to the nursing profession 💕
When the world is grinding me down, when I feel like humanity has completely lost its way, I tune in to East Idaho News for Secret Santa. Whoever our "Secret Santa" is, it is my solemn prayer that Almighty God bless and keep you and yours. Thank you so much for these astounding acts of generosity! Thank you for loving your neighbor! How great was this? Dusty in here....
She was genuinely surprised and grateful. Thank you Secret Santa. You make life a little easier and happier for so many. Merry Christmas to everyone from Texas! 🎄🎅♥
She truly was surprised as it is now today with this Secret Santa in the area three years running available on RU-vid this long most receipiants today know who it is when they see Nate and his crew. But this young mom apparently hadn't ever been exposed to this miracle Secret Santa on the local media outlet, East Idaho News or the innerwebs here on this channel.
What a lovely young woman. I’m saddened at the unfortunate events since I lost a close friend the same way. He passed away just a month before his twins were born. I wish the best for this family. God bless.
You got me again! My twin sister lost her husband when my niece was just 2 and this resonates with me. Maria deserves these gifts that will help her start the new life she was not expecting. You see from the film that she has a good heart and a ready smile and as she said, good support. Bless
