A touching Secret Santa surprise for a young widow whose husband’s death saved two others
Published at
The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season.
Albert Luce died following a terrible accident on July 4. He was an amazing husband, father, son and deputy and was always helping others.
When his wife, Lori, found out that he would not survive, she honored his wish to be an organ donor and asked that his kidneys go to two Blackfoot men in dire need of those organs.

She was told the chance was only 2% that the kidneys would be a match. The kidneys were flown to Salt Lake City to check viability and they were in perfect shape. Miraculously, both kidneys were perfect matches for the two men who needed them. They received the transplants and are now doing well.
Lori is an amazing, brave woman. While in the face of losing her dear husband, she thought of others. She now faces hard, lonely days but she has wonderful, loving parents and siblings as well as Albert’s amazing family.
Lori’s selfless act of bravery and kindness gave these two men a new lease on life and Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves if we could pay her a visit with some early Christmas gifts. Watch the surprise in the video player above.
