Young man born without feet has no clue what’s happening when we show up at school with a Secret Santa gift
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 Soda Springs to deliver a gift for a young man named Aiden.
Aiden was born without feet. He has been through several surgeries and spent time in hospitals in Salt Lake. He has prosthetic legs but sometimes has a hard time with them.
Aiden has the most amazing positive attitude. He is so happy and kind to others. He crawls around a lot because he does not have an electric wheelchair. He is a sophomore in high school and could use an electric wheelchair or scooter.
His older brother is amazing and treats him so well. Every day, he crawls in and out of their old truck as his brother helps him get into the wheelchair and takes him to school.
The elevator in the school is very slow and is on the far end of the building so Aiden sometimes has to crawl up the stairs to get to class. He always has a heart of gold and a good attitude.
Secret Santa asked us to visit Aiden and surprise him with a gift from Secret Santa. Check out the video in the player above!
