Donate Now to help a Veteran and his Son

A 49-year-old veteran (aka Santa)in the River Rd area of Venice, FL is raising his son (who is on the spectrum) and doing whatever it takes to keep life steady. To earn extra money during the holidays, he even plays Santa Claus for the community.

But last year, Hurricane Milton flooded their mobile home. They did the cleanup they could, but the home was never properly repaired. Now mold has taken over, and the living conditions aren’t safe. We believe this home is beyond repair.

We’re raising money to help this dad and his son move into a safe replacement home and make a late Christmas wish come true—for the Santa who’s been trying to make Christmas happen for everyone else.
