A volunteer who helped open Christmas cards for an 8-year-old girl who lost her entire family in a fire is now accused of stealing money from those cards.

Police say 41-year-old Kimberly Bradford was one of dozens of volunteers who helped open more than a million cards sent to 8-year-old Safyre Terry.

That arson fire in Schenectady killed Terry's entire family, and left her severely burned.

Cards and gifts poured in after Safyre's wish for Christmas cards went viral online.

Bradford was arraigned and locked up on $5,000 bail.
