SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — An 8-year-old girl who lost her family in an arson fire has one wish this holiday season: Christmas cards from around the world.
Syracuse.com reported that Safyre Terry’s father and three younger siblings died in a fire in 2013. She was found in the debris next to her father, who used his body to shield her from the flames. She suffered severe burns and lost her right hand and left foot. She stayed in the hospital for nine months and underwent more than 50 surgeries.
She now lives with her aunt, who bought a tree to hang holiday cards on. Her aunt took to Facebook to post a photo of Safyre standing next to the tree in hopes of getting enough cards to fill the display.
