Since the pandemic began in March of 2020, the use of face masks has been challenging for Kohner as he relies heavily on lip-reading.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Kohner worked as a bank teller when coronavirus hit and felt isolated, so he took another job, according to East Idaho News. The Secret Santa, who is giving away $1 million in gifts to deserving east Idaho residents this holiday season, sent Nate Eaton and the news team to bring some Christmas cheer Kohner\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<p>The news team visited Kohner at an Albertson\u2019s grocery store in Idaho Falls, where he worked from 2009-2019. He had been invited to the store for lunch with his old coworkers, but the news team was there to surprise him.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou have some really cool coworkers, and we wanted to bring you these gifts from the Secret Santa,\u201d Nate told Kohner.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u201cAwesome, I\u2019m all for that. Let\u2019s do it,\u201d said Kohner with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The first gift was a $500 gift card to Jiffy Lube. The Secret Santa had heard from one of Kohner\u2019s friends that he was unsure if he could afford a necessary oil change and service.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s a gift card for jiffy lube. I appreciate that,\u201d Kohner said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI imagine it will last me a few years for sure. I appreciate this very much, thank you,\u201d he added.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The second gift was $1,500 in gift cards to Albertson\u2019s, and Kohner instantly came up with an idea.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u201cThat will get me a Christmas dinner for my family, that\u2019s for sure. A big one,\u201d he said. \u201cI can invite all of the close relatives and even some awesome coworkers too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI worked here for ten years since I was 16, and I started here in 2009, ended here in 2019,\u201d Kohner added. \u201cAnd I was just trying to find a better opportunity, and that really hasn\u2019t come up, and it\u2019s been \u2013 times have been really hard. I appreciate all of this I really do. This is awesome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kohner then opened his final gift: a $3,000 check from the Secret Santa.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat\u2019s from an anonymous Secret Santa, who wanted to let you know that he cares about you, and he\u2019s thinking about you, he loves you, and he hopes you have a great holiday,\u201d Nate told Kohner.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI pass on the same to him,\u201d Kohner replied. \u201cWhoever this was, he has my thanks; he has my family\u2019s thanks. This is all very much appreciated.
