Winter Wishes is SUCH a great program! When I worked in the city, I helped to run it for my office each year. We got to read through all of the letters, and it really just makes you think. The one that still sticks out the most was the 11 year old boy who didn't want anything for himself, he wanted his gifts to go to his little sister.

Thanks for posting the link!

How long ago did you sign up? I'm wondering about how long it will take to get the letters.

I received so many letters like this...where the older sibling wishes for something for their little brother or sister :( Or they are asking for things like a warm coat. Chat Icon
