Help Santa Bob Recover After a Violent Attack

For more than 20 years, Houston’s own Santa Bob Beaudreault has shown up for this community in the most selfless way possible—spreading joy, hope, and Christmas magic for free. He has brought smiles to countless children, comfort to hurting families, and light to people who needed it most.

Santa Bob never asked for anything in return—not a dollar, not recognition, not applause. That’s simply who he is: a giver, a helper, a kind and generous soul.

But today, Santa needs us.

What Happened

On Tuesday night, while closing up his small business, On Time Centerless Grinding, Bob was suddenly attacked by a young man who attempted to rob him.

Bob fought for several minutes to defend himself and his business. The attacker eventually escaped with a significant amount of cash—money Bob needed for bills, payroll, and everyday living.

In the scuffle, Bob reinjured his shoulder, leaving him in pain and struggling to keep up with the physical work his business requires. This attack didn’t just hurt him physically—it placed a real financial strain on a man who has spent his life helping others.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Bob is not the type to ever ask for assistance. If you know him, you know that. But this time, the situation is bigger than he can shoulder alone.

This fundraiser will help cover:

    •    The income that was stolen

    •    Medical expenses related to his shoulder injury

    •    Lost work time and business impact

    •    Basic living expenses while he heals

Every dollar helps restore what was taken and shows Santa Bob that the kindness he’s poured into this community has not been forgotten.

A Community Opportunity to Give Back

Someone attacked Santa… during Christmas time.

That’s not something we can let stand.

Let’s rally together and show Bob that goodness is stronger than violence, and that generosity always comes back around. Bob has spent decades making Christmas brighter for others—now we have a chance to return the gift.

If you can give, please do.

If you can share, please share.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for helping Santa Bob heal, recover, and keep the spirit of Christmas alive. ❤️
