The donations came pouring in.
But an even bigger surprise came on Friday.
She and her family arrived at the Cal Fire station near Prather for what she thought would be an interview. However, during the Zoom call, someone unexpected dropped in.
Giants Catcher Buster Posey surprised his young fan, leaving her starstruck.
Along with some one-on-one time with Posey, the San Francisco Giants sent her a signed baseball and new gear from her favorite team.

The surprise left both Reese and her mother emotional.
"It's the best day I've ever had, it's more than awesome probably," she said.
But it didn't stop there.
Reese and her family got a quick tour of the fire station and the last stop was another home run.
Next to the fire engines were the thousands of baseball cards that were donated and Reese was able to thank the San Jose man who donated 25,000 cards.
