The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.

In July 2019, David Silva’s mother passed away in an unexpected tragic accident. As a result, David took over guardianship of his then 8-year-old nephew and 12-year-old niece. Although this wasn’t how David saw his future going, he never hesitated to work toward giving those kids the best life he could.

It’s been four years and David is still putting in long hours at work to ensure his niece and nephew are able to take advantage of every opportunity presented to them. David takes extreme pride in watching his nephew compete in high level soccer games and has worked hard at helping his niece improve her grades – in fact, she currently has straight A’s!

David is always willing to put his own wants and needs aside to care for these children. Because of him, they are living a life that would otherwise be impossible.

Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves if we could pay David a visit and surprise him with some early Christmas gifts. Check out the video above!
