His baby girl just had a liver transplant and this young dad is speechless opening a gift from a Secret Santa
Published at
A local Secret Santa is giving $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season and the East Idaho News elves are helping out.
Every day, from now until the end of the year, we’ll be posting a Secret Santa surprise and today we are visiting a deserving young father named Wyatt.
Wyatt recently graduated from college and on his first day of work, he had to rush his newborn daughter to the hospital. She has had constant doctor visits to Primary Children’s Hospital over the last few months, and on Oct. 31, she received a liver transplant.
Wyatt and his wife are expecting to have to stay in the hospital with their daughter for about two months with an expected recovery time of three months. Wyatt will be commuting back and forth between work and Utah during this time so he can continue to work full-time in Blackfoot.
Their baby girl will be on anti-rejection medications for life and will have many more medical expenses in the future.
Wyatt is one of the kindest young men. Throughout all of these hardships, he comes in to work with a smile and kindness for everyone he comes into contact with. He is always first to offer help when others need it.
He and his wife do not have a car to travel safely back and forth from Salt Lake to Blackfoot and are borrowing a vehicle to make the trip.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to surprise Wyatt with an early Christmas gift. Check out the video in the player above!
