MN child has special request from Santa
An 11-year-old girl isn’t asking for any toys this year, but instead had a special wish for her family. FOX 9’s Leon Purvis has the story.
INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn. (FOX 9) - On Thursday in Inver Grover Heights, Santa Claus received a letter from an 11-year-old girl, who didn’t ask for any toys on Christmas morning.
Christmas wish list
What we know: In the letter she wrote: "Dear Santa, for Christmas I would like my mom to get a job, my mom’s spinal disease to go away, bills paid off, mom to get a car, friends and to stop being bullied."
Santa passed the letters on to his helpers.
"Here’s a little girl that basically was selfless. And all she’s thinking about is her family," said Edward Abrahamson with the nonprofit Soldiers 6, and Santa’s helper.
"Walk a mile in her shoes and paint that picture of what it must be like for her on a daily basis," said Abrahamson.
Community donations
Dig deeper: After posting the letter on Facebook, within hours donations came in hoping to give the 11-year-old girl, her three siblings, and her mother a very merry Christmas.
"We can’t change the world, but we can certainly make it better for this young girl and her family," said Abrahamson.
