Kosie Wessels (7) is back home.

"He was so excited to be home. He's sitting playing with his toys now," says Caroline.
Caroline says they have been overwhelmed by strangers who want to help after hearing about her son's tragic accident.
Just this morning, someone showed up at their house and offered to make Kosie a brand new hand, the emotional mom reveals.

Kosie's left hand had to be amputated Saturday after a firecracker, which he had found in his sister's bedroom, exploded in his hand.
It is not yet clear when the grade 1 pupil will rejoin his classmates at Piet Hugo Primary in Polokwane.
