This story really touched my heart, and it's an easy way to touch a little boy's life!

Christmas Cards Requested
Posted on November 04, 2009

Christmas will come early for a five year old Michigan boy this year. Noah Biorkman is battling cancer and is not expected to live much longer. 

Noah’s mother and WKSR morning personality Ed Carter went to school together years ago. They keep in touch by email. She mentioned the early Christmas for her son in an email to Ed today. 

Mrs. Biorkman is asking for Christmas cards for her son. If you would like to take time to send a card or letter, send it to:

Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon Michigan, 48178.

I checked it out on Snopes, and it's a real request.  Come on Gather, let's send this little boy some love!!!

Will do. I crocheted him an angel also

How sweet!
April H. Nov 6, 2009, 6:51pm EST
From an article I found - I'm sure he'll love adding another angel to the collection!
The 5 year old said that an angel figurine ornament was his favorite because it reminded him of where he’ll be soon.
“In heaven, and I’m going to be an angel”, Biorkman said.

I'll put a card in the mail tomorrow.
Nancy Biri Nov 8, 2009, 9:50am EST
I meant Monday

UPDATE: 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.
