A local Secret Santa is giving $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season and the East Idaho News elves are helping out.
Every day, from now until the end of the year, we’ll be posting a Secret Santa surprise, and today we are visiting Brenda in Blackfoot.
She is a single mom with eight adopted children who all have special needs. She works from 4:30 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. every day to support her children.
Brenda is fiercely independent and does not ask for help, even when she needs it. She has really struggled, especially in the past year. In May, they experienced a small house fire, which caused a lot of damage to her home. She did the best she could by Googling the repairs for instructions and did all of the repairs herself.
Her family also had a flood in their home about six weeks ago. The insurance covered some of the damages but Brenda has been trying to save up to buy the needed supplies so that she can make additional repairs.
Brenda went through cancer treatment last year as well. This woman is so uncomplaining and has the most positive attitude no matter what she is going through.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to surprise Brenda and surprise her with an early Christmas gift. Check out the video in the player above.
