More Alumni News articlesIn a country plagued by sorrow, hopelessness, and a global pandemic, one family in Wenatchee, Wash., offers hope through its unique business.
Luis and Teandra Knapp, both students through Liberty’s online programs, have operated a Santa business, called ‘Meet with Santa’ for several years now, in which they visit hospitals, businesses, and even individual families with a message of joy.
While the Santa, Mrs. Claus, and elf costumes may embody ease and security for visiting children, the Knapps have faced stern challenges since launching the business in 2018. The Knapp family experienced nearly two months of sickness in 2019. To top it off, their landlord in Arizona sold their residence, and the Knapps were forced to vacate. All of this happened as pandemic precautions grew increasingly more regulated around the country.
