In July 2019, David Silva's mother passed away in an unexpected tragic accident. As a result, David took over guardianship of his then 8-year-old nephew and 12-year-old niece. Although this wasn't how David saw his future going, he never hesitated to work toward giving those kids the best life he could.

It's been four years and David is still putting in long hours at work to ensure his niece and nephew are able to take advantage of every opportunity presented to them. David takes extreme pride in watching his nephew compete in high level soccer games and has worked hard at helping his niece improve her grades - in fact, she currently has straight A's!

David is always willing to put his own wants and needs aside to care for these children. Because of him, they are living a life that would otherwise be impossible.

Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves if we could pay David a visit and surprise him with some early Christmas gifts. Check out the video above!

He is not an Uncle to those kids. He is a father. Inspiring.

I hope he can read the beautiful comments that are written in here.
Love is so important. And little given beautiful messages that are given to him through those gifts are so pure love that it makes us cry. To see him crying from being told he is doing something so grate through the love he is giving to his niece and his nephew is so amazing. All this is just pure love. Your love for these 2 children is more than enough, it is an amazing and wonderful and extraordinary gift you are giving them! Thank you for taking care of your adopted children, dad. You are their real dad now.

His reaction is perfect. It's hard raising your own kids but to raise kids that aren't yours. This man is a special person.

It’s not the gifts sometimes, it’s the recognition of silently doing a great job. Well done Secret Santa.

Taking in your niece and nephew to raise them on your own, and to make sure they have a great life. And you working so hard to show them that you love them unconditionally. Shows what kind of heart and a man you are. Very well deserved. Congratulations on behalf of North Dakota!! Keep doing what your doing ❤
