What’s going on is that Noah’s house can’t hold anymore mail. Now they are asking that mail be sent to his dad’s house. There’s also a local radio station that is forwarding all mail to Noah.
Why aren’t the donations going directly to an account set up and supervised by the University of Michigan Research Facility? Also, the parents are mercy-killing their son with Methadone. Something is not right with this picture.
Do people not realize that when such an email and request gets started, it never stops ?? This type of email is circulated on an annual basis, over and over again. And Noah will receive cards over and over again for many years to come. Do these so called parents need to be reminded about this on a yearly basis ?? Normal parents don’t solicit attention from strangers in the world, they would instruct a real child to appreciate the attention his is getting from those that are close to him !!
Who is really falling for this crap??
Some of you people are disgusting. If my child made a dying wish to receive as many christmas cards as possible you bet your ass I’d put it on the internet. What better way to make his last request a reality. There are so many addresses because they got such a massive response that they couldn’t handle all the mail.
and to Frank, you are disgusting.
This is a real story, and a real child will be dead soon. There is nothing wrong with the way his parents went about trying to make a dying child happy. They have been at his side none stop and if a 5 year old wants early christmas and a ton of cards then what’s wrong with that. How dare you criticize them for how they are dealing with this. There are videos of Noah and his family. This is a real child and you are a real douchbag for poking fun at this situation. I hope Karma bites you in the ass you moron.
Deborah, where did you get this info at , and I quote “the parents are mercy-killing their son with Methadone”. Thats a bunch of garbage!! You people are some real nut jobs!!
Crawl back in your trailer where you belong!!
