Mom is playing with kids at home when we show up with a Secret Santa surprise that will bless her son
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 in Blackfoot visiting Brandi and Levi, the parents of two adorable children.
Their 6-year-old son Harry was recently diagnosed with pectus excavatum, a condition where the breastbone sinks into the chest. Of the types of this condition, Harry has the most severe because his breastbone is concaving both in and out.
It’s very serious and without a brace, he would require a very invasive surgery that would include breaking most of his rib cage.
The family is trying to avoid the surgery, so Harry is wearing a sternum brace for 23 hours every day. The braces are not covered by insurance.
Harry is wicked smart and loves encyclopedias and learning.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Brandi and Levi a visit with some early Christmas gifts. Check out the surprise in the video player above!
