EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
We received an email a few weeks ago about a teenage boy in Rexburg who did something unusual for his 14th birthday party. The message said:
I would like to nominate Isaac and his 12 friends. For Isaac’s 14th birthday party, he asked his buddies to bring a donation of $5 or more instead of a birthday gift for him. For the party, they went together to Walmart, pooled their money together, and bought gifts for the Ronald McDonald House and delivered them to the facility in Idaho Falls.
Thirteen boys came to the party and most donated well over $5. It was such a great sight to see these boys do an act of service together instead of the typical birthday fun and opening presents. Apparently, a large group of teen boys doing good is not a usual sight to see at Walmart. While they were going up and down the toy alleys, filling our grocery cart, several Walmart employees thought they were up to no good…They didn’t believe that a group of 13 13/14-year-old boys were at their store to buy gifts for less fortunate children.
I think this group of boys would be great to highlight to show others that most teenage boys have really good hearts.
We thought Isaac would be the perfect person to surprise for Feel Good Friday and visited him during his English class. Check out the video in the player above!

That kids parents are raising him, CORRECTLY! RESPECT young man! And to EVERY single one of his friends who respected his wish! You 15-20 just changed a whole mess of people. See how this works, folks!?!
Great kid and obviously wonderful parents who teach him morals. Looks like everyone did enjoy his special day!!
Thanks for honoring this fine young man!
Nate always shows us that there are people who shows us that happiness is shared is a gift of hope. Thanks Nate
What an incredibly humble, young man with a fantastic group of friends. Young men with big hearts. You made your birthday special for so many people.
I agree 🤗
Yes they are good kids but lets not forget good kids come from great parents. They never get the honors the should
@@gordonrobertson9072 I don't agree. Good parents can have bad kids, just as equally bad parents can have good kids.
What a great story! At 14, to be so unselfish and kind. This young man's parents have done a wonderful job instilling such a love of giving and caring. And all of his friends who were willing to participate with him are also amazing. They are each one a great example for their peers and such a blessing to their community. God bless them.
Any time older people say negative things about younger generations I just point them to stories like this. It's so cliché to criticize younger folks but nearly everyone ends up doing it, when they should be celebrating what kids are doing right. I love that Nate and EIN keep their focus on the _positive_.
What a gentleman. His parents are to be commended. Great job, young man.
Spiffy kid. Awesome tradition in the family.
Those are young men! Not boys!!! Respect is earned and they did that!
What a wonderful bunch of young men! They made my morning for sure!
Amazing young man, if we had more kids / people like him can you imagine what life would be like?
🎉🎉 Bravo 🎉🎉
Outstanding. A real inspiration to other kids his age to maybe follow his footsteps and make a difference.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 💯what a special young man❣ n HaPpiEsT belated BiRtHdAY 🎁 def made me cry happy tears
LOVE TO SEE GOOD NEWS HAPPY BIRTHDAY
A young man who is an exemplary product of good parenting.
Good for them!!!! Good for HIM!!!!
It’s very refreshing y’all, to see what this young man did, instead of asking for gifts. Kudos to you ❤️
A great example showing that there are far more great teenage boys out there than there are bad ones. Great job boys.
Good job boys!
This is thee BEST story I've heard in a long time!!! I'm so impressed not only with this young man but with his friends and parents as well!!! Amazing people, doing amazing beautiful selfless acts of love! ❤️
Wow. This was well deserved. I hope the other kids in his class took notice...
Good going guys. 👍🏻
What a great young man. The world is in good hands.
A pleasant surprise for Friday. Well done young man!
This young man gives me hope for his generation and for our country at large.
That was so awesome of them to do that for the Ronald McDonald House
That made a little bit of water come out of my eyes!! I love these kids!!
What a special young man who obviously comes from a loving home

AWESOME family tradition! What a caring young man and friends.
This touched my heart and made me cry. 😥😭👍🏻🙏👍🏻🙏👍🏻🙏👍🏻🙏
Great Story Nate Eaton from East Idaho News, what an example 👏 of a wonderful young man..I'm surely going to share this great jester with my great grandson's 👍 They are all God's Children and taught by some parents who have raised their children to become an essential part of their community 😀

I bet "jester" 🃏 was meant to be _gesture_, but your phone's voice-to-text is messing with you. 😉
What a Great Young Man and his Great Friends. He is a fine example for our youth today.
I love seeing these boys being recognized! Amazing ❤
THIS PROGRAM SAVED MY FAMILY LIFE THE ACTUAL CHILDREN HOSPITAL ETC TOUCHES MY HEART ❤
Bravo, bravo, bravo! I’ve already sent this to many friends & family as an inspiration. Thanks Nate for sharing this awesome young man’s story!
Beaucoup props to this young man, and his parents for raising him well. And props to his friends for supporting him. He was raised well!
What a great and wonderful story. And a great young man giving like he did. He deserved to be honored on feel Good Friday. Loved this.
Isaac is amazing Thank you Nate and team for his gifts .❤️🇦🇺👍
This is the good news I need to see in this world, especially with all the bad things that are happening every day! Thanks Isaac!
That's great parenting there folks. What a generous young man, he will go far.
Great idea! Only winners at that party. Congratulations on turning 14! Mom & Dad you had an awesome idea of doing a service project. Teaches all the kiddos to think of others!
What a beautiful young man and his group of friends.
Aww!! That is so sweet! What a great young man and friends! Great Job parents!!
Simply amazing kids
These kids have a great heart and I so love that they thought of others! Happy Birthday to you young man!
Sweet boy. I love these younger generations. A good majority are so kind and caring. Even my own kid blows me away with some of the choices he makes. I love this "family tradition" and I definitely think I may implement the same idea into my own family.
So cool that kids aren't in gangs and trash like that. These kids are so giving and inspiring.
Somebody needs to honor Nate Eaton for all the happiness he spreads. 💕✌️
what a wonderful idea and a great young boy to do such a great thing. Well done.
Awesome kid! He's gotta have some very proud parents! Great friends too!
Wonderful parents! Wonderful group of young men!
Wow thank you boy's it's great to see such great kindness.
Thank you it means the world to me what the boys did for the Ronald McDonald’s house. My daughter stayed there thanks
What a fun idea! It's more fun to buy toys than to get them, especially when you are into the teen years. The children at the Ronald McDonald house will be happy, too. The young men would know all the "cool" toys!
great job isaac. you are going to go places. keep it up. stay safe.
Thank you Nate! Sometimes your feel good Friday is the only smile I get all week!
Awesome kids!
His parents are raising him right 👍
What a great tradition!!!!
God bless these young boys.
Perhaps a glimpse into the future and the next Secret Santa... Nicely done young man.
Kudos to kids and to parents!!!
As others have already pointed out...what a great rite of passage / coming of age tradition his family is putting out in his world
Love this. What a great young man xoxx
Beautiful
So sweet 🥰🥰🥰🥰
A totally awesome show of maturity and love for others less fortunate! I predict Isaac will go far in his future life. God bless him.
This makes me so happy! 😊
This doesn't surprise me one bit...they are from Idaho!!!! KUDOS nice to see youths do good!!!
Isaac, you're awesome!
May God Bless you and your family in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏
there is hope !!
I'm meltiiiiiiinnnngggg!
Great young man
Good kid!
This is too good👍❤🙏
WOW!!!!!
May God Bless Secret Santa and everyone involved with it in Jesus Name Amen 🙏
you made my day , Nate.
Awesome ✌️🍷🖤
This happens all the time, we went to birthday parties where the kid would request donations instead such as canned goods, clothing, etc, to give to a shelter
Just when you think that the world is going to pot, our youth rise up and show you humanity is not doomed.
Love nate

I was so not this responsible at 14!
his parents thought this, not him. he likely wanted presents
🥺
What a group of absolute badasses. So cool to see this from younger folks. Keep it up boys!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now Walmart will make more business , should be prohibed to mention the store name
I want to share Supernatural Powerful Healing that Jesus did when I was 1 and half years old:
I had 5 more minutes to live. My grandmother was looking for me all night in the hospital and found me dying on the table, she told me. Then 5 minutes before I died, my grandmother said that she saw Jesus come into the surgery room where I was dying and took away the damaged organs and the new organs that Jesus was holding in his hand.
Jesus healed me completely. My Grandmother couldn't even look at Jesus with so much Light that came from the presence of Jesus.
I thank Jesus giving me new life by giving me new organs. Amen
Love the story but he shouldn't have been interrupted in English class because he needs it. "Me and my friends went to WM." You wouldn't say 'me went to wm'. It's supposed to be 'my friends and I went to wm.'
Yes, I am a grammar nazi (my friend said that). LOL
These are the type of students that come from not only good family values but non crt teachings in schools...let these students be a wake up call to school boards across this nation...teach FAMILY VALUES, READING, WRITING, ARITHMETIC RATHER THAN FILLING THEIR HEADS WITH YOUR VERSION OF CRT!!!!
A young man who is an exemplary product of good parenting.
Great young man
