A Secret Santa In Lewiston, Maine, brought joy to local shoppers by distributing $100 bills, giving away a total of $5,000. The generous act by Santa's helper was inspired by a desire to make a positive impact in the community, particularly after a shooting incident in October. Surprised and emotional, the recipients were deeply grateful for the unexpected gift.
The Secret Santa was touched by the reactions of the people, noting how the simple gesture of kindness would change their expressions. Many of the recipients say they plan to pay the kindness forward, while others say the money couldn’t have come at a better time.
This isn't the first time the Secret Santa has spread cheer in Maine; they have been giving away cash during the holiday season for several years. Laurette Russell, one lucky beneficiary of the gesture, expressed amazement and gratitude, saying how much the “awesome gift” would mean to people who are struggling. The Secret Santa plans to continue spreading happiness by handing out more cash in Maine before Christmas.
