Blake’s mom found the letter in his backpack several weeks ago, according to the post.

Other things on Blake’s list include chapter books, a dictionary, a compass and a watch.

In his letter Blake tells Santa he’s nervous and doesn’t want to talk to the other kids at the shelter.

SafeHaven is a shelter for domestic violence victims and, according to the post, 117 women and children are residing at the shelter this holiday season.

SafeHaven said Blake will be receiving all the gifts he asked Santa for this Christmas thanks to donations.

Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter to Santa in his backpack a few weeks...
