14th Annual Secret Santa First Delivery

Hello Secret Santa Friends and Family,

Thanks to your generosity, Santa’s workshop has been in full swing this week as we have four families packed and ready to go (a special shoutout to one of our best family friends Dana and Grant and their team for sponsoring a family).  After a last minute trip to Country Boy Trailers, who generously repaired the sleigh in 20 minutes, we were ready to go.

Santa and the elves headed out today in the cold to make our first delivery to a family suffering from cancer.  The family greeted us as the sleigh pulled in blaring “Here Come Santa Claus” while other neighborhood children, young and old were thrilled to see Santa.   Since we all know you are never too old to believe in Santa, one mom even said she wanted a picture with Santa by herself (not with her children 🤣)!  Neighborhood children were chasing Santa’s sleigh as we drove through the neighborhood and of course, Santa had candy canes and presents for everyone, handing out about 30-40 additional presents.

We have already received an email from the family we delivered to and while she addressees our family, this message is for all of you – the Secret Santa Family.  We truly could not do this without you!

Thank you so much I really appreciate you and your family. I’m so grateful for everything, you truly made my day 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

Shortly after our delivery, Mrs. Claus and one of the elves knew we had to get to Five Below (and Above) to restock our supply of gifts for neighborhood kids.  $654 and 130 toys later, we were the talk of the store.  The helpful employees said we had the second longest receipt they have seen!

Stay tuned for more - We will schedule the next five deliveries over the next week and will keep you posted.  For all of you that have donated – thank you!  If you have not yet donated, we are still in need of financial donations as we still have several holes to fill for the remaining families for food, gifts cards and presents.  And remember, no donation is too small.

To donate, please visit our website at www.secretsantaoveratlanta.com or Venmo to @Lydia-Whitner.

Thank you again for your generosity and support!

Santa and Mrs. Claus
