A Letter To Father Christmas

Dear Father Christmas,

I don't know if the whole 'good list', 'naughty list' thing is true. You probably don't think I deserve to be on the 'good list' if there is one. I don't feel there is much that is good about me at the moment. But if you are asking what I want this year - here it is - This Christmas I want the bad thoughts to stop.  I want to stop hurting myself like I do. I want them to stop hurting me - they say they will. I want my baby to feel the love that I never felt. I want to start again. I want to be warm and to feel safe. I know what you're thinking - she doesn't want much!

Love, Me x

We support women, children and families out of unsafe situations into a place where they can build a better future for themselves.  We work with young women and children who have experienced homelessness, domestic abuse, sexual assault, family breakdowns and financial hardship. Their letters to Father Christmas would look very different to most. 

Please help us make sure all our children have a present to open on Christmas Day and that every family we support feels connected and cared for: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/ywcayorkshirechristmasappeal
