Secret Santa’s helpers, the news team from East Idaho News, visited Abby Toone at her home in Malad City to deliver an unexpected surprise from Santa. Abby admitted having struggled to make ends meet since her husband, 37-year-old Jonathan Toone, died suddenly in September 2018, and that burden was about to be lightened in the name of the Christmas spirit.
Moving footage of the moment that single mom Abby and her four kids opened their gift has amassed hundreds of thousands of views after the news crew’s footage was posted online on Dec. 17, 2018.
