Before I question another man's request for help, can you please PM me links to your sources first. Thanks, SP.
Sorry, but it is true. I didn't notice this thread until I saw the announcement. It's a good thing you are doing, but for some reason the request is making rounds again after 2 years. I think he's still alive, just really sick and wouldn't be able to appreciate the cards.

A good source for this type of info, as always, is snopes.

Wow! The outpouring of love and concern for Noah is just amazing! Scott and I never in a million years thought that so many people would want to send Christmas cards to Noah. However, please note: We did already celebrate Christmas LAST Sunday — November 8th.

PLEASE STOP SENDING CARDS AND GIFTS!!!!

Noah is very ill. He is not getting out of bed and it's time for Scott, our families, and I to concentrate on our son. His time is very short and he needs us.

Scott and I would like to say thank you so much for the support and continued show of love. However, we are asking that everyone please stop sending cards and gifts.

Also, everyone please post the stop order on Facebook and any other websites or organizations that you belong to. We need the peace right now.

Thank you for your understanding in this request.
