This Little Girl Who Lost Her Family In Fire Only Wants Cards For Christmas

A little girl who lost her entire family in a fire two years ago, has requested only cards this Christmas. Safyre Terry of New York, was badly burned in an arson attack on her home two years ago, which saw her father, sister and two brothers lose their lives. Safyre's father shielded her from the blaze with his body, but she suffered burns on over 75 per cent of her body and has faced numerous surgeries and challenges in her recovery. She is now in the custody of her paternal aunt, Liz Dolder, who told Buzzfeed: "Safyre has had multiple operations, over 50. She had lost her right hand three months after the fire and lost her left foot in March. "She continues to have problems with her mouth due to the scar tissue tightening up. Her next operation on January 5th." Dolder explained to the site that Safyre loves Christmas and that she bought a tree to hang cards on for the little girl. When Safyre saw the tree, she told her aunt how excited she was at the prospect of filling it up with cards, but Dolder noted that they probably wouldn't receive enough cards to do so. She said: "We maybe get 10 cards a year, and the card tree holds 100." So Dolder took to Facebook and posted a request for Christmas cards which has garnered a lot of attention and even a campaign on Imgur. The callout has received a huge response, with many people eager to send cards to the little girl. The address to send cards to is P.O. Box 6126 Schenectady, NY 12306, USA. Images via Facebook.
