Moreno Valley (CA)
Dear Santa
I don’t expect anyone to purchase anything from our list. I know many families are struggling, and I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time to read our story.
I am 71 years old and living on Social Security. I am raising a 14-year-old by myself, and while I do everything I can, our resources are very limited. After covering rent, utilities, medication, and basic food, there is little left for extras.
Even so, we try to stay positive and grateful. My granddaughter understands our situation more than most children her age ever should. When I worried out loud about Christmas, she simply smiled and said:
“It’s okay, Mom. I understand. I don’t need anything this year.”
Those words reminded me of how kind and thoughtful she is. The wish list we created is not something she expects—it’s simply a list of things she dreams about, things she would love if we were in a different financial situation. To her, even one small surprise would feel incredibly special.
This list represents hope. It represents the belief that kindness still exists and that sometimes, people come together to lift one another up.
I don’t need anything for myself. My greatest wish is simply to see her smile and feel remembered this holiday season. Any support, no matter how small, would be received with deep gratitude.
