   Before Safyre Terry captured the hearts of the world with her wish for Christmas cards, the 8-year-old had the attention of Baking Memories 4 Kids, a non-profit organization that sells cookies and uses profits to send children with life threatening or terminal illnesses on cost-free vacations with their families. 
   
   Frank Squeo, the founder of Baking Memories 4 Kids, surprised Safyre at her Rotterdam, New York, home today, along with law enforcement officials and approximately one hundred guests invited to share in the moment by Safyre's aunt, Liz Dolder. 
   
   "It was absolutely amazing. There are no words to describe how many people were there supporting the family, or how beautiful Safyre was," said Squeo. "She was so appreciative and she gave me the biggest hug." 
   
   Baking Memories 4 Kids Frank Squeo, founder of Baking Memories 4 Kids, surprised Safyre and her cousins with news that they will be going on a cost-free trip to Walt Disney World in February. 
   
   The family will be traveling to Walt Disney World in February 2016, a vacation made possible by Baking Memories 4 Kids and Give Kids the World, an Orlando, Florida, resort designed to house the recipients of such trips during their week-long vacations. 
   
   Safyre was badly burned in an arson house fire three years ago that killed her father and three younger siblings. Her father died cradling Safyre in his arms, which protected her from breathing in hot air and allowed her to survive. Her mother signed over custodial rights to the state, so her father's sister, Liz Dolder, stepped forward to be her guardian. 
   
   Safyre has undergone more than 50 surgeries since the fire, including the amputation of her foot in March 2015. It was during the hospital stay for this procedure that Dolder learned that a classmate of Safyre's, Zachary Cunniff, had nominated her to receive the vacation. 
   
   Dolder says the news was exactly what she needed to hear at such a difficult time. In a post to Safyre Schenectady's Super Survivor, the Facebook community she created, Dolder said she learned of the trip on the hardest day of that hospital stay, a day when Safyre had broken down crying three different times, and Dolder was missing home and feeling overwhelmed.

   "I was so emotional and so happy when Frank told me about the trip," Dolder told TODAY Parents. "To know that, for one week, I will get to forget about all the pain and take a vacation with my family — it's wonderful." 
   
   Baking Memories 4 Kids Squeo, shown with Safyre, says his organization has been planning the trip with Safyre's aunt, Liz Dolder, for six months. 
   
   Christina Metz is the senior vice president of Baking Memories 4 Kids, and says that the organization provided a similar vacation to Safyre's classmate, Zachary's, family last year. Zachary's brother, Caleb, has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and their father, Trooper David Cuniff, was tragically killed in 2013 after being struck by a vehicle while conducting a traffic stop. 
   
   "Zachary's mom, Amy, told us that Zachary wanted to nominate Safyre because all of the Frozen characters there are at Disney World, and he knew how much she loved the movie," said Metz. "We love Safyre's sheer fight and determination — her story is definitely one of hope and inspiration." 
   
   In addition to the trip to Disney, Safyre's post office box has been flooded with cards, gifts and letters since her story went viral last week. Dolder posted to her Facebook community this weekend, sharing photos of a volunteer effort that took place to help Safyre open all of the mail she has received. 
   
   The family's YouCaring fundraiser site, which once had a modest goal of raising $15,000, has raised more than $300,000 to date, as support pours in from around the world. 
   
   Cards for Safyre can be mailed to: P.O. Box 6126, Schenectady, NY, 12306. ||||| In 2013, Sa’fyre Terry lost her father and three younger siblings in an arson fire which also left her with burns over 75 percent of her body and claimed her right hand and left foot. 
   
   The now 8-year-old told told her family the only present she wanted for Christmas was cards and that she “couldn’t wait” to fill up a thrift store Christmas tree stand with them. 
   
   Her aunt, Liz Dolder, didn’t want to get her hopes up, so she simply replied that they might “get a few.” 
   
   Hundreds of thousands of cards, letters and packages later, little Sa’fyre has experienced a true Christmas miracle, fueled by social media and made possible by the kindness and generosity of those affected by her story. 
   
   “’Wow’ is the general reaction in my family,” Dolder told ABC News today, adding that the cards and gifts are arriving from all over the world. 
   
   "[We] never thought something like this was possible," she said. 
   
   Dolder mentioned a 5-year-old boy in Hong Kong who sent Sa’fyre his favorite teddy bear with a note that said “Let’s be friends.” The family will be sending the teddy bear back to him along with a “friend” so the bear doesn’t get “lonely” on the long trip.

   Just today, Sa’fyre received about 195,000 letters and cards and more than 3,000 packages, Schenectady Post Master John Reilly told ABC News. It took two 2-ton mail trucks and a rented cargo truck to deliver the mail to the family, he said. 
   
   “This morning was just an unbelievable day,” he said. “We got the most mail we’ve ever gotten for a single person in Schenectady.” 
   
   In total, Sa’fyre has received more than 300,000 letters, Reilly said, adding that Schnectady’s main post office is now handling the mail, since the P.O. box the family rented is located inside a small branch in the Rotterdam Square Mall. 
   
   “It’s really wonderful, the outpouring of love for this family and this little girl,” Reilly said. 
   
   Volunteers are helping Sa’fyre and the Dolder family open the influx of cards and packages they’ve received, Dolder said, calling the community “amazing.” 
   
   "It’s like everyone’s come together for Sa’fyre," she said. 
   
   Dolder said the only word Sa’fyre can muster when she sees the new pile of cards every day is, “What?” 
   
   “She can’t believe it,” Dolder said. “She’s such a humble little girl, too. She really is.” 
   
   The family plans to lie the cards out on their lawn and will take a photo with an aerial drone as a “thank you” to everyone who sent one. 
   
   “To hear a number is one thing, but you really need to see how many cards there are to understand,” Dolder said. 
   
   Today, the charity Baking Memories 4 Kids will present Sa’fyre, Dolder, her husband, Mike, and their four children with a trip to Walt Disney World, which the family will take in February. Disney is the parent company of ABC News. 
   
   Until then, Sa’fyre will have plenty to keep her busy as she opens the thousands of cards that are sure to arrive in the coming days.
