georgiapeach717 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I hope this is ok to post here but... VERIFIED IT VIA SNOPES! A 5 yr old little boy named Noah is in the last stages of Nueroblastoma cancer (2 1/2 yr battle). The family is celebrating Christmas next week, and Noah's request is to get a lot of Christmas cards. Lets send the little guy some: Noah Biorkman, 1141 Fountain View Circle, South Lyon, MI 48178. Lets see how many cards we can get him! Pass it on!!

amyers12345 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 actually, I found another link on Snopes that said it is still pending.. I've gotten this about 100 times, and I checked back and my first email was the first of October. I hope it's true, and I hope that they get there, but there I can't find a record of that address or anyone with the parent's name in the state. Ah, the power of social networking.

georgiapeach717 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 amyers I hope that the one that says "true" is in fact true on snopes. Either way My kids are going to make him one tonight and its going in the mail in the morning. Thank you all for helping. My kids are 2.5 (when he started the battle) and 5 (his age where he is probably going to pass) and I cried when I read this. It just strikes me close to my heart. I know the feeling of losing a child and I still cant imagine this family's pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeky94 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) This is sooo sad... I know the family of an 8 yr old little girl in my hometown fighting this same disease, and it's beyond words what these kids and their families have to deal with. By the way, there's a Care Page for Noah as well, with updates from his mom on how he's doing and how many cards and packages have arrived: Care Page for Noah Biorkman Edited November 6, 2009 by hopeky94 corrected name of Care Pages website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiapeach717 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 well you have me at a loss for words in my own defence amyers...i certainly did not mean that I hope a kid was dying. I would hope no one read it that way, as I didnt even think of how it could have come across. Like I said, I know that pain and I still dont want to imagine this famiy's pain. thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send a card or letter!

georgiapeach717 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 thank you girls...i felt awful when that was turned around on me.

bugsette Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I read some place that they do want any more cards...... I was going to send one.....anyone heard more on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina97 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I read about this on a major news network and they verified it. We sent a card this morning. I did hear that the post office there was being overrun with cards for this little guy. I heard about it last week. I will say a prayer for him and his family.

HBKitmitto Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 yes, if you check that snopes page it says they celebrated last week and now just want to concentrate on being together. They've asked for everyone to stop sending cards and gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 wow you think since the family has asked for the cards to stop that Snopes would respect their wishes and take down their address! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyjane Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Please send this little boy a Christmas card as he hopes to collect one million for his last Christmas... Nathan Elfrink2415 Taylor Blair RoadWest Jefferson OH 43162 I received this email today ...a link to the news story is also included. My long time childhood friend has a very special 7 year old son (Nathan) that is losing his battle with brain cancer and the family has made the decision to not pursue further treatment. This will be his last Christmas and he has one wish ~ to collect a million Christmas cards. Spoken like a true 7 year old boy. Though he may not collect a million, a lot to him will seem like a million. If you would like help make Nathan’s Christmas wish come true, please consider sending a card. I know this will mean a lot to him, as well as his family. Thanks and many blessing to you all. http://www.columbusmessenger.com/NC/0/7519.html Edited December 11, 2009 by missyjane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inluvstill Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 So sad..... This was posted on my SIL's facebook page. I am going to find out if it is someone she knows as I cannot find anything online about it. I am going to send a card to both!!! A little boy 4 1/2 years old named Jacob Hancock, has terminal cancer. He was asked what he would like for Christmas. He said a million Christmas cards. Imagine that? That's all he wanted. Please send him one: Jacob Hancock 127 North Street Mexico, NY 13114 This is the reason for the season - to shine a light into someone's life.
