Noah is currently in hospice care and after his family asked for help in making this Christmas special for him by sending cards, they were overwhelmed with the response.
Thousands of cards and gifts have been pouring into the Biorkman’s mailbox from strangers around the world.
Noah had received 8,000 cards and gifts in the mail in just two days.
Wednesday, Local 4 was there as Noah opened some of the gifts with his family.
The 5-year-old said an angel figurine ornament was his favorite because it reminded him of where he’ll soon be.
“In heaven, and I’m going to be an angel,” Noah said.
His parents, Diana and Scott, said they have come to grips that their son won’t make it until Christmas Day in December.
“We made sure he got to have Christmas … my family dropped everything, they’re bringing the food, everybody’s coming and we’re all excited to spend Christmas with him this week,” Diana said. “His time is very short.”
Santa along with the South Lyon Fire Department visited Noah Friday at the family’s home.
Diana said she is asking that instead of sending gifts to Noah, send $1 in a card to the family and they will donate it to the University Of Michigan neuroblastoma research center and the Michigan Make A Wish Chapter.
Cards can be sent to:
