Dear Santa,

I have never asked you for anything before. You always brought me gifts every year, regardless of whether I behaved well or not. This year, I lost my mother, which is a very heavy and significant loss for me.

My older sister has taken care of me, but she also has a little child of her own, which sometimes makes it difficult to buy everything we need.

Now, because of the aggression of the Russian Federation, our lessons are often held online, so for my studies, I would really like you to gift me a tablet this year. It would help me study well and pursue my dreams.

Dear Santa!

I am Pavlyuchenko Oleksandra, a 6th-grade student, and I am 12 years old. I live in the Zaporizhzhia region. The war is taking away my childhood, and it hurts to see my country being destroyed.

Our whole family loves to travel to different parts of the country. To make our trips more complete and enjoyable, I dream of having a large tent for the entire family. Traveling could become a profession for me in the future.

Sincerely,

Pavlyuchenko Oleksandra.

Hello, Santa!

My name is Oleksii, I am 13 years old. I study in the 8th grade and I love doing sports. I spend my free time at the sports ground. Sports help me distract myself from the noise of Shaheds and rockets. Santa, I would like to have a set of dumbbells. I believe that in the future, I will grow up strong and be able to defend my country.

Sincerely,

Antonov Oleksii, 13 years old

Hello, Santa!

My name is Ihor, I am 14 years old. I live in Ukraine, in the city of Vilniansk, Zaporizhzhia region. My most important wish is for the war to end as soon as possible. I really want to go to school and talk with my friends. But this cursed war doesn’t allow that. I also dream of having a wristwatch that I can swim with and that is unbreakable. That’s my dream.

Sincerely,

Ihor.

My name is Yaroslav, I am 13 years old. I live in a small town in the Zaporizhzhia region, the town of Vilnyansk. I play volleyball and love playing board games. I want to get the board game 'Game of Thrones' for the holidays.

Thank you!

Dear and respected warriors of Ukraine! My name is Sofiia.

I am a fourth-grade student. Thank you for being true patriots of our beloved country. We believe that peace and victory will come! A deep bow to you and my utmost respect. Please come back safe and sound. All of Ukraine stands with you. I dream of a peaceful Ukrainian sky.

Take care of yourselves, and may Guardian Angels protect you.

Dear defenders of our country,

My name is Sasha. I am a 3rd-grade student. Thank you for allowing me to see the sunshine every day, to sleep in a warm bed, and to go to school. Please come back safe and healthy. I dream that our Ukraine will win as soon as possible, so I can go on vacation with my mom and sisters.

Hello, Santa!

My name is Artem, I am 10 years old, and I live in the Zaporizhzhia region. Our country has been at war for three years now. It is hard and scary for us. People die every day, and towns and villages are being destroyed. We are not leaving the country because we believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and in our victory over the enemy.

This year, I have become brave, courageous, and strong in spirit. I promise to study well and be obedient. Could you please gift me a portable game console?

I would be very grateful for the present.

Thank you!

Dear Santa,

My name is Yaroslava. I am in the 3rd grade. I have many hobbies, such as dancing and attending the “Workshop of Wonders” club. I really love crafting. Everything was good for me until this cursed war began. It took away my kindest father. Like all the children in our country, I dream of the war ending.

And my little personal dream is to have an electric scooter. I believe in you and in the fulfillment of dreams.

Dear Santa,

This letter is from Chernov Yehor. I live in the city of Vilniansk, and I am 9 years old. I would really like you to gift me a powerful laser pointer with a range of up to 5 kilometers, if possible. I also have a younger brother named Mark; he is 4 years old. He would like to ask you for a remote-controlled robot as a gift.

Thank you, Santa, for our presents.

Dear Santa,

I thank you for the ability to see and hear. Thank you for allowing me to be with my family and wake up every morning, even though there is a war. But I long to return to my hometown, where I used to live. I want to be with my pets that stayed there—I just want to go home. Unfortunately, my town is occupied, but I believe that the war will end soon and I will return to my city. I believe that everyone who is defending Ukraine will come back home safe to their loved ones.
Thank you for the opportunities we have and for the help we receive. I sincerely thank you. Thank you for protecting and supporting us.
I would like to ask you for a new phone, small containers for beads, and a cool American water bottle or thermos.

With gratitude,

Myroslava.

Hello! My name is Anzhelika, and I study in class 4-V. I work hard at school and love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy fun, active games and drawing.
If you have the opportunity, could you please gift me a soft toy—a koala—and a backpack with a drawing set? I would sleep with the toy, and I would use the backpack and drawing set to develop my skills.
I wish you, Santa, good health, loving people by your side, a wonderful mood always, and to live in a peaceful country.

But now we are back home. It is often loud here, but we believe that everything will be fine soon. There are six of us in the family. I have two brothers and one sister, and I am the oldest child.

As a gift, I would like a Hello Kitty plush toy dressed as Lil Peep. Thank you very much!

Hello, my name is Oleksii!

I live in the city of Vilniansk, where there is war, and sometimes we hear explosions. We study online. I want all of us to go to school with our friends and study there because communication is important for us. I have two sisters and one younger brother, who is 6 years old. I forgot to mention that I am in the 4th grade, and I am 9 years old.
