A handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a "very good dad" has captured hearts worldwide.
The boy, known only as "Blake" in the letter, wrote, "Dear Santa, We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don't have to be scared.
"Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack..."Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.
"I'm still nervous. I don't want to talk to the other kids," he continued. "Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch?"
The most heart-breaking part of the letter was the last line that read, "I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too?"
Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic (家庭的) violence(暴力), posted Blake's letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child's wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.
"To us, it was kind of a story that we've heard all the time," Kathryn Jacob, the organization's president and CEO, told Today. "Like tonight, we have 73 kids in the shelter.""Blake is just one of many."
Nowadays, more and more children spend too much time playing mobile phones. It makes parents feel worried. In order to get the children out of the room, the community is going to organize a camp this summer.
Camper Handbook We've created a handbook you can download here http://www. summercamp.com. It answers many of the questions parents and campers have about DEC Summer Camp. As you've already signed up your kid for this camp, you can check your email box for a copy of the handbook as well. Please review it and get in touch with us at 569-985 if you have questions. Camp houses About ten people share a wood house, including a coach and a camp volunteer. A general bath house is within 200 feet of each house. The size of a house may not be the same. Camp Rules 1. Money: Spending money is NOT needed at camp with no place to spend it. Money and all valuables should remain at home. 2. Electronics (电子产品): Electronics like mobile phones and computer games are NOT allowed at camp. These will be taken away and returned to the camper when the camp ends. Sample Schedules Generally, campers get up at 7:00 am and have an early bird activity like swimming or fishing. After breakfast, there are activities until lunch. These may include environmental lessons or biology experiments. A wildlife biologist may guide the campers. After lunch, there are more activities, such as hiking (徒步), boating, or field trips. Taking a night walk, star watching, playing games and listening to stories around a campfire (营火) are among the choices for the night. |
