Save Santa Claus from bankruptcy

Let´s  solve this problem?

According to court documents on Thursday 20.8.2015, Dianordia OY, a company which fulfils the dreams of children and their families from all over the world to meet Santa Claus in person, needs a bit of Christmas cheer.

Tax authorities in Finland have filed a bankruptcy case in court as Dianordia OY owes over €200,000 ($230,000) in taxes.

Santa Claus has been given a week to pay his creditors.

Just four months before Christmas, the firm faces bankruptcy as it struggles to repay its debts.

The problems started as tourists from Greece, Italy, Spain and then Russia stopped coming, Jarmo Kariniemi, chief executive officer, said in a phone interview to Bloomberg from Rovaniemi, close to the Arctic circle in Finnish Lapland.“The state of the global economy makes a big difference to our business,” Kariniemi said on Thursday.

and there is a lot more if you google...

WHAT DO WE NEED?

We just need small donations that will hopefully solve this urgent Problem. We hope to find persons that wants to continue to keep this lovely tradition alive. Rovaniemi/North Pole/Finland has been the official home of Santa Claus for decades and hopefully will in the future as well.

We have decided to to ask for 400 000 EUR in order to pay off the tax office (200 000 EUR) and the rest will go to pay possible other creditors. If there is any funds left after this ALL WILL BE DONATED to the closest Children´s hospital as a Christmas gift from Santa.

WHO ARE WE?

We are two ordinary working guys that has got NO relationship with Dianoria OY as a company. We are Finns but live outside Finland. We just hope that Santa Claus could keep his home and all the kids in the world would continue to visit him.


Thank You and fun to see if this works :)
