Struggling Utah family finds cash and a Christmas note hidden in baby food

A Sunset family is thanking a mysterious Good Samaritan after the parents discovered a hidden surprise in the packaging of a baby food snack they bought at the grocery store.

Anntasia Kay explained that she went to the Sunset Smith's Saturday to pick up some items for her 8-month-old daughter, Echo.

Like any baby, Echo is busy — and growing. Dad Kaleb Hicks said they’re “running through diapers like crazy,” as well as the usual items like formula and baby food.

When Kay got home from the store and opened one of Echo's favorite snacks, something unusual fell from between the lid and the canister's seal.
