Severe Burns Lead to Foot Amputation for Brave 6 Year Old

Sa'fyre Terry, age 6 bravely faces amputation of her left foot in March, 2015 at Shriners Hospital in Boston. She was the only survivor of a ferocious house fire in Schenectady, NY during the early morning hours of May 2, 2013 that claimed the lives of three of her siblings and her father. Finally arriving home from this devastation on February 19, 2014, she has suffered several complications from severe burns that ravaged over 75% of her body.

We share what Liz Dolder, Sa'fyre's Aunt and legal guardian told ACCFCB about this amputation-

Sa'fyre's left foot will be amputated from below the knee. "Stunned doesn't begin to express all we we're feeling hearing this. By the grace of God Sa'fyre was distracted and not understanding what the doctor was explaining to us... Her left foot is not growing properly and it is the same foot that she had toes amputated from previously. Her foot has no range of motion, no movement at all!" 

Although Sa'fyre is currently unaware that this procedure will take place soon, her family has been preparing her the best way they can with Sa'fyre stating that she wants a prosthetic foot so that she can run and play with the other kids!
