Young couple facing hardship breaks down when they receive a gift from Secret Santa

Ashley and Jace Alvarez are the young parents of three children who have been through a lot this year. Ashley suffered a stroke, had several heart surgeries and during her last pregnancy came down with some very serious health conditions.

During all of this, Ashley and Jace have worked with extended family members and friends to make sure their kids are cared for. Jace has been working part time to help care for the family and transport Ashley to the hospital for medical procedures and appointments.

They have tried their best to be self-sufficient and are loved by many people.

Nate is really the perfect host for this. He is so genuine and empathetic.

I loved how her husband embraced her. I hope they are doing ok.

When you come across a stranger who is angry or impatient...remember that they may be under awhole lot of stress. They could use a little bit of love and thoughtfulness.

It’s for things like this that I wish I was wealthy

[zzzroxyzzz]

Just something about the way he grabs her and holds her, that's love

"As long as she's heathy I'm happy." - I remember love. That broke me.

These two handled this interview like pros. Very well spoken and polite. If I was ambushed like this first thing in the morning I would have made an ass out of myself for sure.
