Secret Santa has a helper

Secret Santa's Homeless Man Helper

Homeless people are often ignored, but folks rushing past Moses Elder might regret their importance. This holiday season, all people had to do was pay him some attention, and he would pay them back with $100.

Secret Santa is financing Mosesto do his mission

A wealthy businessman is the Secret Santa, and he finances Moses to do his mission. Every year, the secret Santa goes around the country, handing out $100 bills to random strangers. But this time, he came to Phoenix and recruited a most unlikely homeless elf. He gave Moses about $3,000 with the instruction to give it away to whomever he saw fit. For him, the people with the least give the most of what they have. 

Moses also get to receive money from Secret Santa

Danny McCoy, one of the recipients, is grateful for what he did. Even though he has seven kids, and until this moment, he had no idea how he was going to buy Christmas presents.

Of course, in the end, Secret Santa also gave Moses some money to keep for himself.  

Moses feels better to give than to receive

For Moses, it is a new beginning for him.  The reward pales to the joy he received from helping others.  He may have changed a lot of people's lives, but he believes his life was changed the most. It feels so much better to give than to receive.

“True generosity is an offering; given freely and out of pure love. No strings attached. No expectations. Time and love are the most valuable possession you can share.”
