Greetings, Santa!

I am writing you this letter with the hope that my dreams will come true. Right now, there is war in my country. In it, I lost the most precious person — my father, who gave his life protecting us from the enemy.

I have many wishes, but the most important one is for peace to come. And for a little bit of joy in my life, I would love to receive a tablet as a gift.

I truly hope that at least one of my wishes will come true.

With respect,

Yaroslava

Good day,

My name is Karolina Dibrova, I am a 5-A grade student. I live in the town of Vilnyansk on Zaporizka Street, 59. My family and I very much want peace to come soon, and I believe it will!

I accidentally broke the screen of my phone. And since the school year is starting soon, I need it for lessons on Zoom. That is why I kindly ask you to gift me a phone for learning.

Thank you very much!

With gratitude,

Karolina

My name is Tymur.

I don’t like it when there is shooting and explosions. I live in Ukraine, in the town of Vilnyansk. I like living in Ukraine because I have friends here, and I also have a wonderful family.

I really wish for the war to end — then life will be beautiful again.

And my dream is to have Lego soldiers.

My name is Valeriia Yemets.

In my region, there are often explosions, lots of fire, and rockets flying. Many people have suffered, and many animals and children have been left without homes. I already wish so much for peace.

I wish our defenders a speedy victory.

And I would also love to have a toy cat.

My name is Nazar, I am 7 years old.

I live in Ukraine. But when the neighbor came, everything changed. The neighboring country came to capture our land and bomb our homes. I want them to leave us so that we can live, work, and study in peace.

I wish our defenders a speedy victory.

And I would also like a Lego set.

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Yehor, I am 13 years old. This year I tried to behave well. I know that you can make dreams come true, and my biggest dream is to have a tablet.

I drew this with love. I am waiting for you with great excitement.

With love,

Yehor

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Dima, I am 15 years old. I tried to behave well this year. Santa Claus, I really want a pair of wired headphones.

With gratitude,

Dima

Good evening, Santa.

My name is Andrii Tkach, I am 10 years old. This year I was well-behaved. I would like a two-story toy house and a phone.

With love,

Andrii

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Oleh, I am 9 years old. This year I tried to behave well. I know that you can make dreams come true, and my biggest dream is to have a phone.

I drew this with love. I am waiting for you with excitement.

With love,

Khrystyna Tkach, 5 years old, is waiting for Santa Claus and would like to ask for a stroller for her doll.

Sasha Tkach, 6 years old, is waiting for Santa Claus and wants to ask for a phone, promising not to lose it again.

Anything would be great!!

Dear Santa,

My name is Arina, I am 15 years old. Almost two years ago, my father was killed in the war… I still miss him very much and believe that he is watching over me from heaven.

I do not ask much for myself. More than anything, I want peace in our country, so that no one else loses their loved ones. For my family, I ask for a little calm, warmth, and joy.

And if possible, I would be grateful to receive a woodcarving set — with tools and wood — so I can feel that I am remembered and that I am not alone.

Thank you for the kindness you bring to children.

With gratitude,

Arina

Dear Santa,

I want to wish you wonderful holidays this year — and that Russia will not ruin them for us.

I would also like to ask you for a ring lamp with a remote control that changes the colors of the light, and with a phone stand. And if possible, I would love it if instead of a ring shape it could be a cat shape — but if you can’t find that, then a ring is fine.

With love,

Dear Santa,

My name is Zlata, I am 9 years old. I live in the village of Novohupalivka with my mom, grandmother, and grandfather. I study in class 4-B at Vilnyansk Lyceum Svitoch.

I love drawing, playing with friends, and playing games. I want to go to school and see my friends more often. I dream that peace will come soon, so we will no longer hear explosions or sirens.

I listen to my mom and try to behave well. I want to ask you to make my small wish come true — I would love to have a new smart watch.

I will be very grateful if my wish comes true.

Thank you so much! See you soon!

Glory to Ukraine!

With love,

Zlata
