Domino's pizza delivery driver raising newborn gets the biggest tip of his life from a Secret Santa

#eastidahonews #secretsanta #surprise

Nick is a recovering addict who has been sober for early six years. He is raising his 11-month-old daughter on his own. It's been a challenging time for him because he doesn't have much family here to help and he's been working full-time while taking care of a newborn.

When Hailey was born, Nick was working a job where he had to wake up at 4 a.m. and ne to work by 5 a.m. Having a newborn and going without much sleep most nights made this work schedule very hard, so a few months ago he found a new job with better working hours. That job didn't work out because he didn't have enough experience, so for now he's working at Domino's delivering pizza.

Nick adores his baby girl and she loves him. Everything he does is for her. He's doing all he can, the best he can, to build their life together.

Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves to pay Nick a visit and we decided to have some fun with this surprise! Check out the video in the player above.

Working multiple jobs, hardly sleeps, raising a 1 year old by himself and still says “there are so many other people who need it more than me.”
A kind soul. Very rare nowadays.

Being sober and sponsor who's still suffer from drug is the most beautiful quality a human being can be. Thank you for keeping strong 🙂

This is why you should always Tip your driver. It really makes a difference ❤ what a beautiful blessing

When he said “there’s people out there that need this more than I do”, I fucking lost it. That is the most beautiful thing about people in need. I’m in tears right now and I’m a 42 year old adult male. Fucking beautiful

Father God keep him! Help others who are addicted! This touches my heart!

Whenever I hear people say, "Stop wasting time/money on junkies." I know there are so many who can/do make it when someone shows they care.

My niece is 5 years clean and I could not be more proud of her!

Best wishes to this father and his daughter!

If your daughter ever sees this she will be so proud of you.

Come on Domino's, give that boy a raise....

'There's so many more people that need it.. ' that statement says it all you need to know about this man. God Bless him and his daughter

When you free someone up from the financial burdens, they can sleep and flourish in so many ways. ❤❤❤

I am so proud that this man turned his life around and is now a wonderful and loving father and a hardworking man and volunteer as well!!! So very happy he doesn't have to worry about rent for an entire year and got the gift cards for his other needs as well. Thanks a million for this one, Secret Santa!!!
And hope you and the crew got to enjoy your pizza,

When he said "it's just been a hard year." I felt it in my soul, this man deserves every penny. 2:07

My son used Meth for 10 years... he finally sobered up and got together with his childhood sweetie... they got married and have 3 beautiful kids... I asked him before the wedding... How do I know you are not going to go back to drugs... he said Mom... I don't want to lose her... they are going on 5 years now and very happy 💜💜💜

This young man is what a true hero is. Not just to his daughter, but to everyone who is struggling with addictions and other issues. Well done.

Hearing him say "I wish.. I wish she was here.." You could feel the pain in his heart, made me tear up. He's a great dad.
