A Secret Santa surprise for a hardworking woman recovering from knee surgery
Published at
IDAHO FALLS — A local Secret Santa is spreading holiday cheer across eastern Idaho, giving away $1 million to people who deserve a little extra magic this Christmas.
Cindy is an incredibly hardworking, resilient woman who is currently facing an overwhelming crisis and desperately needs a helping hand.
Cindy is an older single woman who has always done whatever it takes to support herself. She routinely works two or more physically demanding jobs cleaning houses and businesses.
Recently, she underwent a major knee replacement surgery. Because her livelihood depends entirely on manual labor, she was unable to earn an income during her initial recovery period.
Tragically, this income gap has left her facing imminent eviction from her home. Out of pure desperation to keep a roof over her head, Cindy is already attempting to return to full-time cleaning work, even though her knee is not fully healed. Watching her push through severe physical pain just to avoid homelessness is heartbreaking.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Cindy a visit. Check out the video in the player above.
