Nonprofit helps visually impaired children send braille letters to Santa

On Dec 20, 2025, VisionCorps invited blind or visually impaired children to mail braille letters to its headquarters, where a helper will send them to Santa, who will reply in braille.
Erika Rothermel, a teacher of visually impaired students at VisionCorps, said the program opens a long-standing tradition to children who were left out, making them feel included and fostering family bonding.
Students can start sending braille letters immediately, with organizers encouraging submissions this year and WGAL.com posting mailing instructions and the address for families.
Organizers say children are excited to know Santa is listening and that the activity lets families share holiday bonding moments.
