Our Story:

We would like to Bring Joy To the World at Christmas with a Personalized Video Message from Santa to kids.  We know for sure that kids love Santa and what a thrill it is when they can see and hear Santa himself speaking to them personally.

We are three sisters, two college students and a sophomore in High School who had an app created "DODGE Eye Balls" that was made after our brother Charles, who is autistic. It was a great way for him to express another joyful side of himself. As Christmas approaches, we began to think about how Charles would be able to have his interaction with Santa. Malls are too crowded and noisy; autistic children have difficulty in these environments. What we decided was that media communication would be the best way to meet this challenge of bringing kids and the imagination of Santa Claus together. First we created an app called "Get Santa Text' where kids could send a text to Santa and he would send them a text back. Get the Free apps here and have your kids text Santa:  Android or iPhone



The response was overwhelming. "Santa" gets over a hundred of the most adorable, honest, loving and sincere texts a day.  They always keep us and Santa's heart laughing and smiling. What we and "Santa" noticed the most from the text is that kids really want to see and hear him personally.

  • Santa will you write my sister Kayla a letter? She's 5 months old and can't write herself. I will read your letter to her when...

  • Hi Santa, What can I get for Christmas? I've been really good this year, much better than before. I really would like a iPad this year and ...

  • Santa, my brother has been really naughty and mean to me. I think he should be on your naughty list and don't get...


This gave us the idea to try and take this further with even more personalization and media to reach even more kids during the holiday season.

How You Can Help:

Contribute:

  • We've set a small goal that should provide at least 100 children with their own personalized message from Santa. We've worked out a deal for each video to cost us $10 each. The remaining amount of our goal will be for Indiegogo, credit card, Paypal fees and printing set-up for T-shirts.
  • We know most of you will do this because you just have a Heart of Gold but we'd also like to recognize you as a supporter of this campaign so on our site well will have a page that lists all our contributors.
  • We would like to also help other business or website by adding their name directly on some videos and VIP sponsors. (of course no adult sites or businesses that conflict with children's interests)

Your Impact:

Not only will you be a blessing to these children, knowing their joy will bring much warmth and cheer to your hearts as well.

Should this campaign surpass it's goal, not only would we be able to provide even more videos, we can add letters and hopefully get our own equipment and space to provide this service ourselves, early estimates would be about $2,500 for equipment and scene. This would cut down the cost of the production dramatically.  

             



    Risks & Challenges:

    The biggest challenge and disappointment we foresee is not being able to provide enough personalized videos to the children who want this for free.

    We are also hoping that "Santa" would be able to fulfill the commitment until Christmas. Having our own production equipment and staff would eliminate this.

    If you can't contribute, You can still Help:

    • Share this campaign with everyone you know. Post on social networks and generally talk about it. It's easy to share with Indiegogo share tools.
    • Ask others to contribute a video to a kid for Christmas. Bring Joy To Them.

    Most of All, Thanks to Everyone for even considering this.
