When the flat where Deyvion slept was destroyed by fire, he was still in a bassinet. He was saved from the fire by firefighters, but his face was horribly burned.
Deyvion’s survival seemed miraculous, but this resilient youngster from Missouri battled his way back to health at a specialised burns hospital.
It wasn’t until he was five years old that this miracle boy was placed in foster care by Beth Plunkett, a single mother of two. He accomplished all of this without the support of his loved ones.
According to WGN9 News, Beth stated, “I fell in love with him very quickly because I thought he was a beautiful little boy.”
Everyone seems to agree that “he’s so lucky to have you and what you’re doing,” but she also said, “I feel like I’m just as lucky to have him.”
Beth eventually adopted Deyvion after he had been without a family for 2,545 days.
Above everything, Beth stated, “I want him to be happy.” Additionally, I want him to constantly feel loved, to set and achieve objectives, and to just do incredible things. And I’m positive that he will. God undoubtedly has a fantastic plan for him.
Not only do his brothers and new mother love him as much as he deserves, but the firefighters who saved his life also believe he’s fairly remarkable.
The night they saved this remarkable youngster was a night that Deputy Chief Eric Smith and his team at the South Metro Fire Department in Raymore will never forget.
Smith and his team gave Deyvion a customised jacket and hat on the day of his adoption. They also provided the little child and his mother with a ride in their vehicle to the court office to formalise the adoption.
Smith offered Deyvion a high five and expressed his pride in him, saying, “He’s really unique.” Even though we don’t always know why things happen, we do now.
This little child will always be surrounded by love, and with good reason—after everything he’s been through, he deserves all the joy since he is a courageous and endearing boy. We need to see and hear more stories like these. What a love. What’s important?
He is a real inspiration, therefore let’s give him even more love and tell his tale.
