Her husband died after being stung by wasps. Now Secret Santa is delivering a special gift.

MALAD — Abby Toone is an amazing woman and strong woman. She recently lost her husband, Jonathan, in a freak accident and is now a single mother to four young kids under the age of 10.

Jon was working on their Malad land in September when he was stung by three wasps. He began losing breath and his heart was racing. He called Abby and she dialed 911.

Jon drove as fast as he could to get help, but collapsed at a neighbor’s home when he could no longer drive. He died there in Abby’s arms at the age of 37. They took him to the hospital to try and revive him, but it was in vain.

Prior to this accident, Abby supported Jon as he joined the United States Army and served his country. He held the rank of a specialist and was in support of the 19th special forces group in conducting unconventional warfare during the global war on terror.

Abby is always unselfish and looking to help others. She is a cosmetologist and is known to give free haircuts and makeovers for those that need a hand and are unable to pay for it. Even when her own family was doing without, Abby would still reach out and help those around her.

Due to the freak nature of the incident, Abby is waiting for Jon’s life insurance policy to be settled as it is being investigated. She is struggling to pay bills for her family and provide Christmas while trying to adjust to being a single parent and widow of only a few months.

Secret Santa knew he wanted to do something to help Abby and he asked the EastIdahoNews.com elves to surprise her with an early Christmas gift. Santa’s sleigh was unavailable so the elves used the next best thing to deliver the present – the EastIdahoNews.com helicopter! Abby and her children even got to enjoy a ride on the chopper.

Watch the video above to see how it all turned out.
