Young mother surprised with gift from Secret Santa

Eileen Parker is one of the strongest, humblest, most amazing people you could ever meet.
Her young husband, Ben, has had cancer twice since their 8-year-old was born. Keeping up with the medical bills has been tough on them, but they’ve gotten through.
Ben is a school teacher in Idaho Falls and has a second job to make things work. Until last week, they only have one car which Ben drove to work. That meant Eileen walked her two oldest kids, along with their 3-year-old, to and from school every day. The 6-year-old is in half-day kindergarten so Eileen and the 3-year-old walk to and from the school three times each day.
This family never asks for anything for themselves. They are extremely frugal and humble. When asked what they could use for Christmas, Eileen said they were ok and didn’t need anything because they were better off now than during the “cancer years”.
Secret Santa asked the EastIdahoNews.com elves to go surprise the Parkers with an early Christmas gift. Watch the video above to see what happened!

    She is even more amazing than we thought in this video. Unfortunately she was in a terrible car crash with her father, at first they thought she was OK but got septicaemia and lost all her limbs. Her strength of character and spirit are far beyond words. I’m also from the UK and think Nate and Secret Santa are very special people, but in this instance no one is more amazing and special that Rosalie. kzread.info/dash/bejne/faWiz6Whnpi3erQ.html

    @Sh L You would think there were agencies that would help people get back on their feet, yet a large percentage of the fire victims over here are still without their homes two years later. These agencies collect "our" donated cash and then put a cap on how much they will help and those that didn't have fire insurance will never have their homes rebuilt because the help was never going to be enough to restore these families back to where they were before the fires. Stay safe and Happy Holidays.

I’ve been binge watching all of EIN’s secret santa videos and a video of their story popped up on my feed. They are all doing really well and are in good spirits it seems! Here’s the video that tells their story: kzread.info/dash/bejne/faWiz6Whnpi3erQ.html There’s another video you can find from last year where they gave an update on her and her family.
