Help Create a Christmas Miracle
96For everyone who has sent him a card, gift or anything, thank you on behalf of little Noah and his family.
His mother has updated their site at carepages.com, letting people know that they are grateful for the outpouring of love and sending cards and gifts, but PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANYMORE.
You can however, still remember Noah in your thoughts this Christmas season
Noah Biorkman
This year, you do not need to rely on snow falling or angels to create the only miracles, you can help create one yourself.
In a town in Michigan, a little boy name Noah Biorkman, age 5, is currently living in a hospice dying from Stage IV neuroblastoma.This disease has a survival rate of 0% in children and little Noah has been fighting it since he was 3 years old.
Doctors say that they do not think he will be able to make it until Christmas, and his family are celebrating next weekend, this mid November, 2009. His mother began by emailing her friends, asking them to send Christmas cards to help Noah get his final Christmas wish: to receive as many Christmas cards as he could before Christmas.
The message spread and is now a world-wide movement, people from all walks of life and all religions, mailing this little boy a Christmas card, in celebration of his life and his final Christmas. His local firemen will provide a Santa to come and celebrate with him next week, and the boy talks of angels and heaven.
Diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma in February 2007, Noah went into remission in August 2007 and they thought that he would be okay. However, in September 2008, he had legions in his right limbs, and the cancer continues to spread.
No matter your views on religion or life, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Though Noah's family has asked that we no longer send any cards, look into your community to find things you can do to help young children like him, who are struggling to keep themselves alive against a raging disease.
Lets remember Noah and other children and loved ones who are terminally ill this holiday season.

Thank you for sharing this story. My prayers go to Noah and his family.
Are ecards acceptable? If they are can you give us an email address? From where we are, cards sent through regular mail usually take about 2 weeks to reach their destination.
I don't know of an email address for the family... I have been looking for one... I will post it if I find one :) thank you for the comment
My heart and prayers go out to you all.My daughter had Gorham's.She was 12 went she passed away.If you ever need to talk to someone I'm here for you.My little girl wanted to have a prom,so we held one at the hospital.Is there anything else he wants.I'll keep my faith that he'll make it until after Christmas.I will be sending a card tomorrow.p.s.s for Noah,his famliy,friends,and loved ones,Keep your head up.God will see you through with his love ang grace
I am sure your message would mean a lot to the family. I am not sure if they would want anymore support in the future. Definitely check them out at carepages.com :)

Thank you for your comments... remember, Noah's family asked for no more cards as they are using most of their time now being with little Noah :)
I am so glad to read this! i posted Noahs address on my FB status, and some of my friends thought it was a hoax.
It wasn't a hoax... (you could find it on snopes)... thanks for reading :)
Bless your heart for reaching out like this. You should post more. This does truly open the eye, and makes one want to cherish the time he/she may have with family, and loved ones. Thank you. My heart, and prayers go out to little Noah.

Hi Noah,
What an amazing brave little boy you are. I know a little boy just like you, his name is Caycen. I wish you could meet him and he meet you. He is my great nephew and his neuroblastoma was diagnosed when he was three also. He is now six and having Christmas every day right now with the people who love him. You are a beautiful, precious angel.
I agree.
