Scooter SantaBringing Christmas Cheer to People with Disabilities

Holidays are a special time to be with the people we love and show them how much we care; that is what it is like for most of us.

Not so for many; many are no longer waiting for cards or presents in the mail or a phone call, presents are far and few between; often having to pay for their own presents; Disability Pension just doesn't allow for much. They are left to wonder if the "postcard" Christmas from T.V. exists anymore. "Christmas" and "alone" are two words that should never be connected.

There’s an old Christmas song that says, "It’s the most wonderful time of the year." And for the average person it rings true. Yet for many Children, Young People and Adults with Disabilities, Christmas is a season to survive. Depression, grief, mental health and loneliness are often exacerbated.

How it works:

• A team of volunteer Santa Claus's ride their Scooter to your home;
• Is at NO cost to the person, family or supporting organisation;
• We will ensure that each present is delivered individually;
• Santa will interact with each Person with a Disability;
• Santa will stay as long is is practical;
• Make it a memorable day;
• Each present is personal; and
• Provide photographs of the visit.

Chrismas is almost around us again. With a few short months to go, The Scooter santa will be on the Central Coast roads throughout December. Give him a wave.

Jesse's Voice would like to thank the Pro Sudio Designs, and ANZ Bank, for their generous on going support to Jesse's Voice and the Scooter Santa. Our gratitute and thanks go out to you all who have sowed in the work of Jesse's Voice.

God Bless You
