The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy this holiday season helping a local man gift $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho. Secret Santa is a real person who wants to remain anonymous and hopes to bless as many individuals in our community as he can.
Maria Garcia makes the most amazing homemade tamales that she sells to help pay for her husband's medical bills. He is on dialysis and they often travel to Salt Lake City for appointments.
The Garcias have five children and 13 grandchildren. Before moving to Idaho Falls three years ago, they ran a food cart in Southern California selling tamales, tacos and carnitas.
They moved to eastern Idaho to be close to some of their grandkids. The tamale business helped pay some bills but the Garcias were forced to stop their business due to COVID-19. They've only recently started up again.
Secret Santa was moved by the Garcia's story and asked the East Idaho News elves to surprise them. We ordered some tamales and showed up with a big tip. Check out the video above!

I'd be just like this lady worrying about my hair and clothes etc., and she has taught me not to worry, she has a beautiful heart and that is all you see. God bless this channel. x

I hope this airing of her story brings her enough orders to meet all her needs but still allows her time to enjoy her life! 🙋‍♀️❤️

To the anonymous person who donated the $1,000,000: God bless you and thank you. And the fact that you're remaining anonymous shows where your heart is; you don't want the credit, you know you've been blessed and you want to help others. We need more people like you, and we don't have to have $1M to give away, it starts with $1.

These just never fail to bring some emotion. Nate is a lucky man for being the messenger of this kind of love and care. Thanks Secret Santa for the kindness.

Oh my gosh…this was one of my more favorite ones. She was so flustered, but never lost her friendliness. The kind of woman that everyone would want to have in their circle of friends. Best wishes to a well deserving family.

Nate and company, I do not know how you do this, I shed a tear every video, but I just can't stop watching. I wish that I was able to bless people like Secret Santa does. If Secret Santa is looking at these comments, You are a gentleman and a scholar and I applaud you, your generosity is blissful and you are a perfect example of the Christmas Spirit and of course Santa Clause!

Is anyone else binge-watching these with a tissue in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other during the holidays or is it just me? God these are so good!

That's awesome. I took my mom to dialysis 3X per week, 30 miles each way, and would wait at the hospital for 4-5 hours while she was receiving her treatment. My heart goes out to this lady.
