Jake Berry, 24, bedridden and wheelchair-bound due to a lifelong struggle with Cerebral Palsy, had been forced to stay home for a year.

In a contest organized by EastIdahoNews.com, a Secret Santa asked the news outlet to give away $100,000 to deserving people in the area. When the site discovered the story of the Berry clan, they made a house call.
