"I have tried to be helpful and do things right this year," writes Dakota.

Carbondale, KS — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Carbondale families. They’re a lens into the magic of the holiday season through the eyes of a child.

We’ve partnered with T-Mobile so we can all share in their joy. This letter, submitted by Sandeana Hall in Carbondale, was written by 12-year-old Dakota:

Dear Santa My name is Dakota I'm 12 yrs old, I have 3 brothers an 1 sisters which I think you know I have tried to be helpful and do things right this year. It has been a rough year my dad has MS so my mom tries to keep things going for us we ended up homeless but mom never gave up. We now live in a camper. So I know it's a lot but I would like a house for my family if that's too much clothes so med men's socks and underwear.. posters Pokémon, ku, music posters, type of game system cheap, and art things and anything that will help my become a pastor when I'm older.. Love Dakota Carbondale ks

Santa is waiting to hear from your kids, too. Click here to fill out the form, and you can submit a photo if you’d like.

Please note: Your (child’s) letter may be shared with your community to help spread holiday cheer. However, all fulfillment requests need to be routed separately to the North Pole and/or Santa himself. In other words, these letters are just for fun: Santa won’t be checking the lists on Patch.
