Severely burned girl, 5, who lost her entire family in an act of arson just wants cards for Christmas. Safyre Terry, 5, is asking people to help make her Christmas this year more merrier by sending her cards.
Girl with severe burns only wants cards for Christmas. Two years ago she suffered severe burns to over 75 percent of her body from a New York house fire caused by arson
Her father and three younger siblings all died as she was found next to her father who used his body to shield her from flames
Since her aunt posted the request for cards on Facebook December 3, Safyre has already started receiving cards to hang on her card tree
A sweet little girl in New York has only one wish for Christmas this year and is asking people to help make it more merrier.
Two years ago in Schenectady, New York, Safyre Terry, her father, 32-year-old David Terry, and three younger siblings, three-year-old Layah, two-year-old Michael and 11-month-old Donavon, were in a house fire caused by arson.
She was the only survivor, as firefighters found her next to her father who used his body in an effort to shield her from the flames.
The arson still remains unsolved, even though a federal jury convicted one man in November for lying to a grand jury investigating the fire, according to the Daily Gazette.

The five-year-old girl suffered severe burns to over 75 percent of her body.
Her aunt, Liz Dodler, told BuzzFeed that her niece, who she has sole custody over, has had numerous surgeries.
'Safyre has had multiply operations, over 50. She had lost her right hand, three months after the fire and lost her left foot in March,' Dodler told BuzzFeed.
'She continues to have problem with her mouth due to the scar tissue tightening up. Her next operation is on January 5th.'
A family friend started a YouCaring Compassionate Crowdfunding campaign to raise money to help assist her aunt with the cost of Safyre's medical care.
More than $13,700 has been raised of the $15,000 that is requested.
Dodler, who is already the mother to four young children with her husband Mike, shared that she bought a tree to hang Christmas cards on for this holiday season, and that Safyre instantly got excited when she saw it.
