Dear Santa Claus, My name is Amy. I am nine years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me Santa ? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.

Love, Amy

At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas wish contest.
