Now, Lindsay Robert, who has been dressing up as Elsa and appearing at birthday parties, has reached out on Facebook to tell Leyana's story.

"It was soul crushing. When I open the door, I'm used to all the kids running up to me. But she was just all by herself. Just looking down. Just so sad and she just launched herself into my arms," Robert told KDVR.
