Santa Needs Your Help

Hi my name is Tracy Houston, I am a local

photographer in Naples, FL and I have had the privilege of working with Santa Paul for the last few years for Christmas photos. Paul is amazing with the kids, a hoot to be around with the adults and is the epitome of Santa! He adores his role of Santa and is quite often in character no matter what time of year it is.

These past few years have been incredibly hard for Santa Paul and his wife, Marsha. Their home sustained a lot of damage during hurricane Irma and then again with Hurricane Ian. They were approved for funding through Rebuild FL for a complete replacement of their home and then heard nothing. They’ve been living in a mold infested home and it’s becoming more and more of a burden to them.

This past Monday, 3/13, Paul left the house to get some breakfast for himself and Marsha and never made it back home. He slipped and fell in the parking lot and next thing he knew, he woke up in an ambulance. He has spent the last three days in the hospital. He had a brain bleed and fractured his orbital eye socket. The doctors are saying he is an anomaly because anyone else with those injuries might have succumbed to them….not Santa! By some miracle, he was released and I was able to drive him home yesterday!

Paul and Marsha are going to need some help! They cannot continue to live in the mold infested home and they will

need some help regularly. Paul is not allowed to drive again until he has clearance from his doctor. This will make it difficult since he does all the grocery shopping!

Any amount you can give will go directly to them. My hope is that we can raise enough money to at least have a home health nurse be able to help them daily with cleaning, laundry and trips to the doctor and grocery store. The ultimate goal would be to raise enough money to purchase a new home for them!!

Please share! Every little bit helps!

Santa Paul has touched SO many lives here in SWFL….it’s now our turn to give back!
