Closing Discussion for CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR BOY DYING OF CANCER

Thanks so much to everyone who has responded to Noah and has sent him letters for Christmas.

The family is very thankful for the outpouring of support for Noah but has asked that their address be removed from all websites and that no more letters be sent.

Unfortunately, Noah's health has declined and he is not doing well. The family just wants to focus on being there for him in these diificult moments.

The gift I will now send out for the Noah family is one of thoughts of love, peace and comfort.

Thanks
Alisa Wissell

Finding the perfect one today! Will be put in the mail this evening. Wishing Noah and his family the best Christmas they've had. My thoughts and prayers are with them. - Sara Jo
First thing tomorrow will send cards to Noah as well as prayers for healing and peace. Thanks for sharing Noah's request with us.
What a wonderful opportunity
Such a sad story. I'll be sending a card along with my prayers tomorrow. Sounds like Noah's mail box will be quite full.
I too recieved this message of Noah from "Pay it Forward Fridays" on Facebook. Can you imagine how many cards he is going to recieve! Awesome!
It's a small giving world! Noah was my "gift" for today! Before I logged on I just addressed the card to him. :) Glad others have heard about him and can be a part of the Biorkman family Christmas celebration, too! Prayers and best wishes to the family!
Thank you for passing this on...I intend to pick up a card tonight to put in the mail tomorrow :)
Thank You for sharing this story and the opportunity to reach out to Noah - we are sending him a card. many Blessings.
The family has asked that people STOP sending cards at this point. They celebrated Christmas with Noah on the 8th of November. They never expected the overwhelming amount of cards. They are extremely thankful, but they can't handle them anymore. Noah is bedridden now and declining fast. They just want to focus on him for the rest of their time together.

They also asked that people remove their address from all forums and networking sites.
Thanks, Sarah. I just got an email forwarded to me regarding their request as well. I am going to go back and try to remove my initial posting with their address.

It is amazing the outpouring of generosity of strangers. I understand how overwhelming and emotional receiving more letters for Noah can be.

Thanks for touching base.

My thoughts are with Noah and his family.
