The World is Full of Needy Children

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everybody. Please allow Santa to talk to you seriously for one minute.

There is something important that needs to be said.

Today there are 140 days to go until Christmas Day arrives once again. Every year Santa distresses about the thousands of Children that he cannot reach. The millions of hungry mouths begging for a scrap of anything that might give them some nourishment. Yearning eyes and distended bellies that cry out in hunger and pain let alone even thinking for one second about what Santa may bring them for Christmas this year.

In cities all around the world, children in affluent societies live on streets or at best in impoverished homes where a succulent Christmas dinner may consist of bread and water or something just as nourishing.

Do we see anything wrong with this picture?

We can't change the world in 5 minutes but each of us collectively can make a difference. We can't save every child but we can save some. We can't turn every yearning eye to one of joy. We can't ensure that every child gets something from Santa no matter how small but we can change lives. We can't feed the millions but we can sustain a few.

What is Santa trying to say?

Quite simply, we can make a difference. we don't have to change the world when we can change our own back yard and that's what I intend to do. Obviously I need your help.

This year Santa wants to give hope to 4000 children. That's 4000 bellies that we can feed. 4000 smiles that will light up rooms everywhere. 8000 eyes that will shine. We can make a difference..... together.

Santa is asking for your donations no matter how small or how large. We have 140 days to make it happen. More than enough time.

Santa doesn't often ask for help but I can't do it alone. Please help!

As always,

Santa
