A LITTLE girl who suffered horrific burns in a fire that killed her family has been flooded with Christmas cards.
Two years ago, little Safyre was the sole survivor of an arson attack that killed father David, three-year-old sister Layah and brothers Michael, two, and Donovan, 11 months.
Safyre, two at the time, who was found clinging to her father’s chest as he tried to shield her from the flames at their New York home.
The tot suffered 75 per cent burns and had to have both her feet amputated.
Now five, Safyre lives with David’s sister Liz and husband Mike, and her mother, Jennica Duell, is facing trial for perjury over claims she gave false testimony that landed an innocent man in jail for the crime.
Strangers have been bombarding the little girl with cards after a social media appeal to make her Christmas extra special.
Cards from as far afield as Belgium and China have brightened the tragic tot’s festive season.
Her family posted a hart-warming snap of the ‘Super Survivor’ on Facebook, clutching a stack of letters.
They wrote: “Safyre got mail today.”
If you want to send Safyre a card, you can mail it to P.O. Box 6126 Schenectady, NY 12306.
