When Nicolas Fosson needed an eye procedure, the folks at his local LasikPlus Vision center didn’t think much of it when his dad, Dave, paid for the surgery. Because that’s what dads do, right? But when Dave Fosson continued to pay for treatments for people in need, the LasikPlus folks took major-league notice and so did others. It turns out that Dave plays Santa Claus in his small town of Waverly, Ohio, and gives generously and regularly to so many people in town, he was contacted by The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Dave not only pays for much-needed eye surgeries, but he also helps with other medical treatments when people can’t pay themselves.
One Christmas Eve, he received a phone call from the grandmother of a 7-year-old who had leukemia and went to visit her. Dave took a picture of himself dressed in his Santa outfit that later sold multiple copies. All proceeds went toward buying this family (who was in financial hardship) a new car so that the child could more easily be transported to medical treatment. She is older now, and in remission. Just another act of kindness brought to a small town by Santa Claus.
