We are approaching the holiday season, and what better time to do good and charitable works for the people who need it most or are at a disadvantage?

But the surprise didn't stop there ...

A woman who deserved every single penny of the money and who we know will use it to run the house and to take care of her dear Cameron even more.

How great is this secret Santa?
