A sobering Christmas list from a young girl concerned about her parents' money worries has highlighted the crippling financial struggles many families are facing this year. The list was shared on Twitter, begged Santa to intervene to help her mum and dad with money, rather than asking for gifts for herself, reports the Mirror.
The eight-year-old had penned a letter on the back of her Harry Potter notepad, which read: "To Santa, all I want for Christmas is some money for mummy and daddy. They struggle with bills and mortgages and I even feel sad."
"Please please Santa", she wrote, followed with a smiley face, "Can you make it work!"
