A man dressed up as a combination of Santa and the Mandalorian is on a mission to travel to all 50 states to bring toys to children with special needs and illnesses.

Williams said Benji, one of the children in the video, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2014, and thyroid cancer in 2019. The video shows Williams walking next to Benji and another child.
