Staff at Dunelm running a charitable Christmas appeal this winter were left emotional after they received some heart breaking wish lists from children who asked for very basic items from Santa Claus this year.
The home store has began its annual Christmas appeal as the festive period draws closer with the aim to bring 'joy' to families across the UK but this year staff were touched by the requests they were presented with by children as their wishes highlight the harsh reality of living in poverty for many kids in Britain.
Amid the cost of living crisis which has seen thousands of families across the country struggling as inflation rates have sky rocketed along with high energy bills will undoubtedly leave many parents unable to provide their children with Christmas presents this year.
