Help Santa Will (Willis Conley)
Donation protected
Hello My name is Steffanie and I am one of Santa Will’s (Willis Conley) daughters. My dad has been in the hospital for 2 weeks.
To be 100% transparent I did think we were going to lose him at one point.
But in the last 24 hours he has taken a turn and is cognitive again, able to move, drink, and talk. Still working on the eating but getting there.
WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM.
But the doctors are working on it and we are making progress.
The doctors are doing everything they can but now that he has stabilized we know we are moving in the right direction.
My dad is a real bearded Santa who loves what he does each year, working with Bass Pro and Cabela’s for the last 4 years after relocating to Missouri from San Diego, CA. In San Diego he played Santa everywhere.
He was in the Navy for 27 Years and is a Vietnam Vet.
He is huge on volunteer work. Libraries are near and dear to his heart and has volunteered in the town he lives in now as well as when he as still in San Diego.
They volunteered at The Spring Valley Park and Rec for over 30 years and were a part of the Spring valley Chamber of Commerce, and my parents were even MR & MRS Spring Valley.
We are asking for help with medical bills because this is just the beginning and we have a long way to go including rehab and in home care.
If you can please share this with your community we would be very grateful for it.
Also if you have stories or memories of my dad we would love to hear them. Please post them here.
