Humble shuttle driver who cuts wood for others can't stop crying with this Secret Santa surprise

The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season. Every day, from now until Christmas, we will post videos of the recipients being surprised with these life-changing gifts.
Kent is one of a kind. He is the sweetest, most loving, hardest worker you'll meet. He will do anything for anyone.
Kent has lived alone for about 6 years. This past year his health started to decline and he spent this summer at many doctors' appointments.
Kent works as a shuttle driver every single day from May until October. After shuttles get over for the day, you will find Kent cutting up all the wood he can. Kent supplies wood for four people during the winter. All summer he works to get all the wood for anyone that needs any.
He recently had his chainsaw stolen out of the back of his truck. Our co-worker gave him a little chainsaw to use so he can still get wood for the people who are counting on him. Every day he shows up to work with a bag of donuts and the biggest smile. He is just happy to be at work! He never complains and is genuinely one of the happiest people you'll meet.
Kent has so much love for everyone he is around and his energy is contagious.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Kent a visit with a gift we've never given before along with some extra presents. Check out the special moment in the video player above.

This guy bought me to tears 😢😢😢 …so sweet and so overwhelmed by the gift. His comment “why” when he does so much helping others what a lovely sweet man, and bringing donuts to his co workers everyday. Sad his chainsaw was stolen, but I’m certain his new beaut chainsaw will be better than his old one. Such a well deserving recipient of Secret Santa again, it really makes you appreciate how lucky you are to have what you have, when you see so many really struggling, honest, hard working, caring people, always doing things to help others when they themselves are struggling. He will be able to cut his wood for winter and all those who rely on him much quicker now. I pray he has a wonderful Christmas with his gifts to help him get through the winter. ❤️🙏🏻 Thank you Secret Santa, Nate and your helpers, your all so awesome and Secret Santa is so very generous and giving. 🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🤶🏻

Its amazing that the people who struggle whether they be homeless, struggling financially or mentally, always question "why me". They are selfless, thoughtful, wonderful caring people, even though they struggle and do not have much, always consider that someone else is more worthy than themselves when receiving a gift. This man was just wonderful, humble, and so over come with happiness, thank you East Idaho News. I have been watching your secret Santa for years and always look forward to them, from your fans in Australia, well done. You spread the christmas spirit just as it should be spread.

Kent seems like a great guy. I love that you gave him a chainsaw. It’s a gift that will work hard to keep giving. Kent seems like the type of guy who will try to help 8 family’s now instead of 4. I love that these stories highlight those who help others in all different types of ways. Some cut firewood, some make hats and gloves to keep others warm. These videos will help inspire many of us to find ways to contribute back to our communities.
