8-year-old Safyre Terry was the sole survivor of a 2013 fire in Schenectady, New York that claimed the life of her father and three siblings.

New York Daily News reports that the child was burned on 75% of her body and lost her right arm.

Despite all she’s been through, the little girl had one simple Christmas wish: to receive Christmas cards to put in her new card holder.

Thousands of people reached out to her, including, the Obamas:

Reportedly, Beyonce also sent her a card!

What a wonderful gesture for such a strong girl! Merry Christmas, Safyre!
