The family of a US soldier killed in Afghanistan has finally received a $25,000 check from President Trump, fulfilling a promise the commander-in-chief made months ago during a condolence call.

Chris Baldridge, the father of Cpl. Dillon Baldridge, said the check came in the mail to his Zebulon, NC, home Monday with a letter signed by the president, the local ABC affiliate reported.

“I am glad my legal counsel has been able to finally approve this contribution to you,” the letter said. “I hope this will make things a bit easier, but nothing will ever replace your son, Dillon. He was an American hero.”

Jessie Baldridge, the fallen soldier’s mother, said the letter​, sent from the president’s Trump Tower address,​ left the family “speechless.”

“We are so moved and grateful, and we promise to use the money to honor Dillon’s legacy,” she told ABC 11.

​The president, according to news reports, promised to send the Baldridges a $25,000 check after he called the grieving family to pay his respects over their son, who was gunned down with two other soldiers by an Afghan police officer June 10.

​The father told Trump during the July call that he was hurting financially and wouldn’t get much from the government in the way of survivor benefits after his 22-year-old son’s death. ​

​​“[Trump] said, ‘I’m going to write you a check out of my personal account for $25,000,’ and I was just floored,” Baldridge told the ​Washington ​Post​ last Wednesday.​ “I could not believe he was saying that, and I wish I had it recorded because the man did say this. He said, ‘No other president has ever done something like this,’ but he said, ‘I’m going to do it.’”​

The check the family received from Trump was dated last Wednesday.

​Last week, the White House ​blamed the delay on the administrative process and slammed the media for blowing the story out of proportion.

“There is a substantial process that can involve multiple agencies anytime the ​p​resident interacts with the public, especially when transmitting personal funds,” a White House official said ​last Wednesday, adding that the check was in the pipeline.

White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters blasted the ​media for reporting​ about the​ promised​ check.

“It’s disgusting that the media is taking something that should be recognized as a generous and sincere gesture, made privately by the president, and using it to advance the media’s biased agenda,” she said.

T​he Baldridge family ​said they will send Trump a letter of their own.

“We want you to know how grateful we are for this generous gift from you. We also want you to know that we intend to use this money to start a nonprofit organization in Dillon’s name into something you can be proud of​,” the letter said, according to ABC 11. “Our goal is to help as many fellow Americans as possible for the rest of our lives.”
