Her father who was killed in the fire, was told to be protecting her from the flames on that fateful day.<\/p>\n<p>Sa\u2019fyre was 5 years old at the time of the fire. Now 8 years old, she has undergone over 50 surgeries and still has a long road of recovery ahead. Although she\u2019s suffered so much at such a young age, Sa\u2019fyre is still said to wake up every morning with a smile on her face. She has been strong during this tough time. Sa\u2019fyre is an inspirational symbol of strength we can all admire. This year, her sole Christmas wish is to receive cards from all around the world. Out of all of the things in the world, this is her only wish.<\/p>\n<p>The Gallery Collection is proud to announce that it will be sending Christmas cards to Sa\u2019fyre this year and helping in granting her this wish.
