Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the the state, anxious kids on their knees, praying please don't be late! Along came the morning, with most kids still snoring, a loud rumble was heard, dear Lord God that's absurd! You see down came the street, not by sleigh or by feet, Santa Clause yes I swear, on two wheels just one pair! Another look they did take, as they made no mistake, there's an elf on his back, and he carries a sack! From fourth gear to first, children's excitement had burst, as Santa slowed to a stop, have you been nawti or not? The kids all got a gift, but with more spirits to lift, just one flick of the wrist, the red motorycle was gone in the mist!
My name is Rocco, and I'm here to ask for some assistance. No one is sick, and no one is dying, if I said otherwise, I would in fact just be lying. I appologize, it's taking me some time to realize I don't have to speak like a Christmas Dr. Seuss anymore. Let's get to the point. Last year, as many of my friends and family are well aware of, I ordered full sized Santa Clause and Elf costumes and bought a few hundred dollars worth of toys. On Christmas morning, with the help of my little Elf Jay, we dressed up and loaded up my motorcycle, riding around everywhere from North Wilmington to downtown Newark, blasting Christmas music and handing out presents. We stopped in random neighborhoods, approached cars at red lights, and even rode through some not so pleasant areas of the city - all to try to stretch our margin of cheer as far as we could. The reactions from unsuspecting kids and their surrounding company on each stop were nothing short of amazing. The quest was more of a success than I had expected, and it even made local news. However, just as I was mastering my ho-ho-ho's and really generating a great response from the local nieghborhoods, we ran into one problem - Santa's gift sack was empty. I remember the moment clear as day, as more parents were allowing their kids run out of the front door and down the street to Santa's motorcade - we ran out of gifts to give out. It was a terrible feeling for me and my Elf. Chuck Norris never loses a fight, and Santa never runs out of presents. I had numerous sources reach out to me after that, offering to donate what they could to make next year more prosperous, so I decided that a gofundme was the best way to do that. This year, we are in the works to building a sleigh for Santa to allow for him to further expand his mission. A rolling trailer that will attach to the motorcycle that mirrors the image of Santa's sleigh that will be able to fit hundreds of more gifts in hopes to accomodate for a much larger audience this year. That means no more running out of presents, and no more crying children on Christmas. We could potentially somehow solve world hunger through this, I'm not sure how yet but just one step at a time. Last year a few hundred dollars of my own money, a last minute Amazon Prime order, and a tank full of gas on my bike went a very long way, so I am hoping to go above and beyond with whatever assistance I can get this year. Absolutely 100% of every donation will go towards helping to fund the build of Santa's sleigh and to purchasing as many various gifts as we can possibly fit. The theme here really is, the more the merrier. I am also looking to target a specific place of need to end the ride (maybe children's hospital), but if anyone has any information or recommendations in that regard please contact me! This may generate $100, or it may generate $1,000,000 - regardless, Santa and his Elf will still be suiting up and aiming to target as many kids as possible! I really sincerely appreciate any and all support and help from people between last year and this year, life is short so have fun and try to help people along the way!
