In 2013, Sa’fyre Terry lost her father and three younger
siblings in an arson fire which also left her with burns over 75 percent of her
body and claimed her right hand and left foot.
The now 8-year-old told told
her family the only present she wanted for Christmas was cards and that she
“couldn’t wait” to fill up a thrift storeChristmas tree stand with them.
Her aunt, Liz Dolder, didn’t want to get
her hopes up, so she simply replied that they might “get a few.”
Hundreds of thousands of cards, letters
and packages later, little Sa’fyre has experienced a true Christmas miracle, fueled
by social media and made possible by the kindness and generosity of those
affected by her story.
“’Wow’ is the general reaction in my
family,” Dolder told ABC News today, adding that the cards and gifts are
arriving from all over the world.
