By now you’ve likely heard of the horrific and heartbreaking story involving Safyre Terry, an 8-year-old girl who lost her father and three siblings in a house fire back in 2013.
The fire, deemed arson, is still under investigation. The New York girl suffered burns on over 75% of her body and eventually lost her right hand and left foot. She now lives with her aunt.
Recently, Safyre expressed one wish this Christmas season:
She’d love to receive Christmas cards.
Lots of Christmas cards. The news of her request has gone viral. If you haven’t already done so, perhaps you’d like to take a moment and send this young girl a note of encouragement.
Here is her address:
P.O. Box 6126
Schenectady NY 12306
At the very least, please join me in praying for Safyre Terry.
