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 wonderful woman named Bonna.

Bonna is incredibly giving and never wants recognition. She was a single mom who started a daycare 32 years ago in Chubbuck so that she could care for her kids and provide for them.

Even though she has given up her daycare due to health issues, she still shows up for her previous kid’s games and special life events.

Bonna won’t ask for help because she feels there are far more deserving people. She has cared tirelessly for children for many, many years and is as good as they come.

Bonna’s roof has been patched multiple times but continues to have major problems. The entire roof needs to be replaced so she does not have that worry any longer. She also needs new tires on her car but it has been hard to prioritize the cost over medical bills.

Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Bonna a visit and surprise her with an early Christmas gift. Check out the video in the player above!
