Santa Letters

Every December, the National Federation of the Blind helps Santa send
letters in Braille to young blind children across the country. 

 

A young boy with a white cane sits on Santa's lap.Nothing promotes reading
like a letter from Santa! Last year's letter inspired Louise to Braille her
own letter to Santa to leave with milk and cookies, since, as she put it,
"Santa must be able to read Braille if he can write it!" Thank you!

 

How did it start? Well, more than ten years ago, Santa asked us to be his
honorary elves. Ever since, we've been helping him send letters in
contracted Braille to blind children who are ten years old and younger in
the United States. Along with the Braille letter, Santa includes a print
letter so that those who might not read Braille can follow along. He also
includes other fun holiday activities.

 

Submit your requests between November 9 and December 16.
