Grandma Working At McDonald's Is Speechless As Secret Santa Hands Over A Set Of Keys

Despite being 65 years old, Diana Boldman of Idaho still works hard to make ends meet.

Cameron has had several health setbacks and is on disability. Diana has faced her own health struggles, too. So, with money being tight, Diana still works hard each and every day and dreams of retiring in a few years.

For now, though, Cameron and Diana wake up early each morning to deliver 150 newspapers. Then, Diana spends hours working at McDonald's. The couple's van has almost 240,000 and is nearing disrepair.

But Diana's hustle caught the attention of a local Good Samaritan. And the stranger's incredible act of kindness makes for just the type of positive news story we love to hear!

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, teamed up with local news anchor Nate Easton to play Secret Santa. And Diana Boldman was one of the special people on his list.

So, Nate showed up while Diana was working at McDonald's to surprise her with the Secret Santa's gifts.

As an Idaho Falls resident, Diana was familiar with Nate Easton and his work on behalf of local Secret Santas. But the grandma never imagined she'd be on the receiving end one day!

You can just tell the sweet lady is in complete shock as she is gifted keys to a new vehicle, along with $5,000 worth of gas cards and a check for $1,000 to cover the car's registration. She just keeps repeating, "Oh my goodness" as Nate shows her the brand new SUV!

It’s easy to take offense when someone hurts you, or you’re frustrated with where you are in life, and it seems as though everyone around you is thriving. But, when we take an honest look at ourselves and see how God loves us (1 Corinthians 13), we realize we have no right to hold any grudges against our brothers and sisters.
