Deyvion was just a baby in a bassinet when a fire ripped through the apartment where he slept. Firefighters rescued him from the blaze but he was left with horrific burns all over his face.
It was a miracle that Deyvion survived but this tough little baby from Missouri went on a recovery journey at a special burns unit where he fought his way back to health.
This miracle boy did all of this without loved ones by his side and it wasnโt until he was 5 years that he became the foster child of Beth Plunkett, a single mother of two.
โI thought he was a beautiful little boy, and I fell in love with him very quickly,โ Beth said, as per WGN9 News.
โI feel everybody says, โOh, heโs so lucky to have you and what youโre doing,โ but Iโm, Iโm just as equally lucky to have him,โ she added.
After 2,545 days without a family to call his own, Deyvion was finally adopted by Beth.
โI want him to be, most importantly, just happy,โ Beth said. โAnd I want him to always feel loved and to just โฆ to have goals and like, reach them and just do amazing, amazing things. And I know, I know he will โฆ God definitely has an awesome plan for him.โ
He not only has his new mom and siblings to love him as he truly deserves but also the firefighters who saved him thinks heโs pretty special too.
Deputy Chief Eric Smith of the South Metro Fire Department in Raymore and his crew never forgot the night they saved this special boy.
On the day of Deyvionโs adoption Smith and his crew gave him a special jacket and hat made just for him and gave the young boy and his mom a ride in their truck to the court office to make his adoption official.
Smith gave Deyvion a high five and told him how proud he was of him adding: โHeโs extremely special. We donโt always understand why things happen, but we do now.โ
