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 surprising a young couple from Madagascar attending school in Rexburg.

Hasina and his wife have three children. The oldest is 12 and the youngest is a toddler. He is attending BYU-Idaho and studying biology.

Hasina works part-time on campus for their only income. As an international student, that is all he is allowed to work. Hasina worked as a midwife in Madagascar to save money so they could all come to the U.S. but she is unable to work in the US because of her international status.

Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to visit Hasina and his family with a gift. Check out the video in the player above.
