Help Santa Bring Joy to the Children of Western NC

This Christmas, we humbly ask for your help to bring a little love and magic to the children of Western North Carolina who have been deeply affected by Hurricane Helene. These brave kids have endured unimaginable hardships - many have lost their homes, treasured belongings, and even loved ones. The disaster, right before the holidays, has taken so much from them, yet with your support, we can give them a piece of comfort during this difficult time.

Our Goal: We are on a mission to raise $40,000 to provide 10,000 warm, cuddly stuffed animal puppies to the children of Western North Carolina this Christmas. Santa Claus and his dedicated team of elves will hand-deliver these special gifts, spreading love and hope to the children who need it most.

Why This Matters: The aftermath of Hurricane Helene has been devastating for so many families. Parents who have lost jobs due to destroyed businesses are struggling to provide for their children. Many of these children no longer have the security of their homes or even their favorite toys to turn to for comfort. In a season that should be filled with joy and laughter, they face uncertainty and fear.

A stuffed animal may seem small, but for a child in crisis, it’s much more than just a toy—it’s a companion, a source of comfort, and something to hold onto when everything else feels uncertain. With your support, we can sprinkle a little Christmas magic into their lives and remind them that they are loved and not forgotten.

Who We Are: This heartfelt effort is led by Santa Joe Grady, known as SantaWNC, "Santa for the Mountains," and his hardworking helpers and elves in Western North Carolina. Together, they are committed to delivering smiles, warmth, and hope to the children who need it most. Santa Joe and his colleagues have dedicated their time to making Christmas special for children year after year, and this time, with your help, we can reach even more kids.

Our Promise to You: Santa Joe Grady guarantees that 100% of the donated funds will go directly toward providing these stuffed animal puppies, ensuring that each one reaches a child in need. Every dollar you give will make a difference, and Santa and his elves are committed to personally delivering these gifts throughout Western North Carolina.

How You Can Help: By donating, you will be part of something truly extraordinary—one of Santa’s official elves. Each donation will help give a child a stuffed animal puppy to hold tight this Christmas and beyond. Every dollar counts in our effort to bring smiles, comfort, and love to children affected by this disaster. We need to reach our goal to secure the delivery of the animals.

Please help Santa deliver some much-needed Christmas magic. Together, we can ensure these children don’t lose the spirit of Christmas, even in the face of hardship. We invite you to donate and share this campaign with your friends and family so we can reach our goal.

Santacerely,

Santa Joe Grady
