Seven-year-old girl asks Father Christmas for home and food for her family

A seven-year-old girl has written a letter to Father Christmas asking for a home and food for her family.

BBC reports that the letter was left in a Christmas postbox at the L6 Community Centre in Everton, Liverpool.

Local councillor Gerard Woodhouse, who opened the letter, said: “It was so upsetting to read.” Shirley Marshall from the centre said since the letter went viral they have been “inundated with support” and they are “overwhelmed”

The little girl writes: “Dear Father Christmas. Can you help?”Can we have a home for Christmas? Mam wants us to be all together. Can you give us some food and can I have just a nice doll for Christmas? Thank you.”
