Santa Jack is now without transportation for the rest of his Santa season, Cunningham said.

"If anyone knows Santa Jack, they know he dedicates everything in him to making children happy," Cunningham said. "We have worked together for over six years, and I have seen him bare pain until he saw the last child of the day with a smile on his face."

Cunningham said that Santa Jack has brought so much joy to thousands of children over his years of portraying Santa Claus.

She said that all go towards purchasing a new vehicle for Santa Jack.
