The Aquillas are a great family of six that live in my neighborhood. The mother, Carolee, is 42 was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is trying to get healthy enough to go through chemotherapy but doctors have given her less than 12 months to live as she has an incredibly rare form of liver cancer.
She is a loving mother of four kids and they are all great people.
Secret Santa wants to help the Aquillas create some memories with Carolee over the next few months. He asked the East Idaho News elves to drop off an early Christmas present to the family. Watch the video above to see the surprise!
