Dear Santa,

This is Zorina Taisia writing to you.

How are you doing? What have you been up to? Are you staying healthy?

I would like to ask you for a black shopper bag, some stationery (which I really need), and a soft toy. Sorry if it’s too much to ask for—at least the shopper bag would be great. Thank you in advance.

Yours,

Tasia.

My name is Valeriia Martynenko, and I am 13 years old. Before the war, we lived in the city of Huliaipole, but Russian aggression forced us to move to Zaporizhzhia due to constant shelling. We had to spend hours sitting in damp basements. We were forced to leave our home and move away. Later, our mother became ill and passed away. Now we live with our grandmother and grandfather. But my grandfather doesn’t want to leave his home and still lives in Huliaipole, waiting for us to return.

I also have two sisters, Veronika and Daria.

For the holiday, I really want to receive the perfume “Moschino Toy 2,” a bead weaving set, a plush goose, and some sweets.

My sister Veronika, who is 16 years old, really wants a handbag, cosmetics, and sweets.

Daryna, who is 4 years old, would love a doll and sweets.

We would be very grateful for the gifts.

Ukraine will win and become   the largest independent, strong, democratic state, a military power in   Europe, and a determined partner. Ukraine will emerge as a European democracy   with a strong army, an economy with great potential, and a unique culture. A   combination of dedication to the ideals of freedom and determination.

After the war ends, our country   will gradually recover. We will become a highly developed nation with   advanced technologies.

I am very interested in the field   of IT. It offers many opportunities and a lot of knowledge that can be gained   from the internet. I am truly fascinated by IT.

Hello, Santa!

Throughout the whole year, I have been a well-behaved child, putting away my toys and behaving nicely. I have heard about the many miracles you perform and all the good you bring to people. I dream of having a Swedish wall at home so that I could learn to do pull-ups and practice acrobatic exercises. I hope my cherished wish will come true.

Sincerely,

Pavlyuchenko Vyacheslav,

St. Nicholas! My name is Maksim; I am 11 years old. I study well at school and do sports. The most I want is for the war to end, for our school to be rebuilt, and for us to be able to study there again. And I would also like a basketball.

Dear St. Nicholas! Throughout the year, I have been an obedient child, helping my parents at home, putting away my toys, and studying hard. I have heard about the many miracles you perform and how much good you do for people. I hope you won't refuse my request to fulfill my cherished wish. I really want some candy and a transformer for the holiday. St. Nicholas, please fulfill my dream, and I will try not to disappoint you or my parents for the whole next year.
