Randy Heiss, 60, was walking dog in Patagonia, Arizona, about 20 miles northeast of the border, on December 16, when he found the balloon deflated red and the current list attached with a red ribbon.
On the outside of the note was the name "Dayami", and inside the top 10 best girl's choices written in Spanish. At the top of the list were "Enchantimals" – animated man-animal figures – and a house for them, followed by painting and drawing materials and mud.
Heiss suspected the balloon drifting from the Mexican border town of Nogales, Sonora.
According to Nogales International, a newspaper of the American city of the same name, he spoke to social media and contacted the famous radio station Nogales XENY via Facebook.
XENY journalist Cesar Barron began broadcasting Heiss's story on Wednesday, and after an hour, Dayami's family came into contact. XENY suggested to Heiss and his wife to meet the girl.
The couple purchased most of the gifts from their wish list, although the Enchantimals dollhouse was sold, as well as gifts for the girl's sister, Ximena, aged 4, and at 45 minutes drive from Nogales, Mexico.
When they meet Dayami and Ximena on the radio, Heiss and his wife say that they are "Santa's helpers" and hand over the presents, much to the delight of the girls, video bit.ly/2SkmX0K posted by XENY's Barron.
Heiss's only son died nine years ago. He had disappeared with his wife during the Christmas holidays, said the local television channel NBC KPNX in Arizona.
"There is a wall 20 feet high along the border, we now have an accordion wire, but nothing will prevent the faith of a child and his Christmas wishes," said Heiss on the TV channel.
On Monday, the rest of Dayami's Christmas greetings came true.
A lawyer from Los Angeles, California, sent him to the Enchantimals dollhouse after reading in the Washington Post that he had not received any, Barron said in a video message bit. ly / 2PXvEMJ on Facebook showing Dayami and his latest gifts. .
