Heroin-Addicted Atheist Turns Into a Believer And Goes To Treatment With New Outlook

READING, Pa. – Every year, CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman goes out with Secret Santa – an anonymous businessman who travels the country at Christmas time. Secret Santa randomly goes up to people in bus stations and thrift stores and hands out 100 dollar bills.

“We can change the world one random act of kindness at a time,” says Secret Santa.
