A Buffalo boy who survived two days alone with his mother's dead body is recovering from his tragic loss, and is receiving an outpouring of support from the community.

Bryan Keith Allen, Jr., 4, was discovered Friday by a Rent-A-Center driver making a scheduled delivery to his apartment, the Buffalo News reported. Taijuan Littleton said he knew something was wrong when the boy answered the phone when he called ahead of the delivery Friday morning.

When Littleton arrived, he knocked, but Bryan's mother, Shaleena Hamilton, did not answer the door. Instead, he could hear Bryan's voice, and attempted to engage him in a conversation.

"Littleton said he heard the boy talking to his mother," Homicide Detective Sgt. Jim Dunham told the Buffalo News. "He asked the boy to open the door, but he didn't. Littleton then looked through the window and saw the mother lying on the floor at the foot of the stairs. At that point, Littleton called 911. He also asked the boy again to open the door, and he did."

Littleton took Bryan to his truck when he realized Hamilton was dead. He comforted Bryan until police arrived.

Hamilton had suffered a blood clot near her heart, and died when she fell down the stairs and broke her neck. Bryan survived for two days on milk and maple sugar, believing his mother was just sleeping.

When Buffalo Police learned of Bryan's story, they contacted Lt. Steven Nichols, who is involved in a program that gives away bikes to children in the community.

They had a shiny red bicycle ready for Bryan on Monday, but as the story spread, other people wanted to donate. Members of the public began dropping off gifts with Police Department employees throughout the city, and Bryan had a mountain of packages sent to him, piled up across the Buffalo Police Headquarters by the end of the day.

"Hopefully, it will make his Christmas a little bit better," Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda said while presenting the gifts to some of Bryan's family members on Monday.

"He's going to love this," Thomas Porter, Bryan's maternal grandfather told the Buffalo News. "He's not going to know what to open up first."

Bryan is reportedly doing a little better, though family members told the Buffalo News that he was still talking about how "mommy was sleeping" at her funeral over the weekend.

Porter said his stepson, Bryan's uncle, may come back to the Buffalo area to become a caregiver for the boy. A GoFundMe campaign in support of the Bryan has been set up.

Bryan is the second Upstate New York child to be flooded with sympathy and support from strangers this holiday season.

Schenectady 8-year-old Safyre Terry, an arson survivor who lost her family, asked for just enough Christmas cards to fill a second hand card tree. She received thousands of cards, gifts, and even a trip to Disney World from generous well-wishers around the world.
