 Diana Biorkman, mother of 5-year-old Noah Biorkman, says outpouring of support is 'humbling, incredible'
November 09, 2009, 5:03PM
When South Lyon resident Diana Biorkman posted an entry on her son Noah's cancer care page asking for people to send Christmas cards so that they could celebrate the holiday early, she couldn't expect what would follow.
Soon, there was a Facebook page set up, a television crew echoing Diana's plea over the airwaves and a Reddit item with almost 900 comments.
According to the care page, the number of cards arriving at the family's home swelled from 64 on Tuesday to more than 10,000 on Saturday.
Detroit Children's Hospital Care Pages, Nov. 8: We are opening and reading each and every card. This is taking some time. It is just humbling, shocking, incredible, astounding... the outpouring of love for one sick little boy.
Noah Biorkman was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2007, when he was 3 years old.
He went into remission, but then relapsed in September 2008. His family is not expecting him to make it to Christmas Day.
On Friday, Noah got a visit from the South Lyon Fire Department, who sent "Santa" to see him.
On Sunday, the family gathered at the Biorkmans' house to celebrate. Despite new pains cropping up, Diana says she is happy to have been able to give her son at least one more Christmas.
Detroit Children's Hospital Care Pages, Nov. 8: No matter how hard this is or how painful it is, Scott, my family, and I can say one thing -- Noah had Christmas today. And for that, I am grateful.
Merry Christmas Everyone! The world helped make it special for Noah, my family, Scott, and myself. I can guarantee one thing -- This week was a week that none of us will ever forget.
