ROTTERDAM, N.Y. — A little girl who lost her family and suffered disfiguring burns in a fire is having an incredible Christmas, thanks to the generosity of thousands of strangers around the world who were moved by her simple Facebook wish.

“This year’s been magical, amazing,” said Liz Dolder, who posted a picture of her niece, Safyre Terry, on Facebook earlier this month. It showed Safyre with a Christmas card tree Dolder got at a thrift store, and said the 8-year-old hoped to get enough cards to fill it.

Cards and gifts started pouring in from across the United States and overseas. More than $174,000 has been donated to help Dolder and her husband, Mike — Safyre’s new family — deal with medical costs and other expenses since the Christmas card post went viral this week.
