I have removed Nate's address. The reply to the request simply became too overwhelming for the family. They have asked that people not send anymore Christmas cards as it is taking too much of their precious time that they have left to spend with Nate. Nate is also unable to enjoy them much anymore. In just one week, he has quickly weakened. If you did forward this request to anyone, please also forward the request that they not send anything.
Thank you so much for all of the love and support you showed. The family is truly, truly grateful.
Thanks!

Hello,
I know I'm pretty new around here with posting, but I have been reading for quite a few years, so I feel like I know so many of you and I know what big hearts everyone here has. That is why I am putting this request here.
I teach special needs preschool in central Ohio. Three years ago, I had a little boy in my class named Nate who had been battling a brain tumor that first occurred when he was 16 months old. He went through radiation and chemo at that point. While he was in my class, the tumor returned. They operated again and he had radiation again.
Last year, in first grade, his tumor again returned. The family went to St. Jude's and they thought they had found a protocol that would work. Unfortunately, they received bad news when he and his dad went down there last week. According to the MRI, the tumor is growing very rapidly and there is nothing more they can do.
His parents have made the heartbreaking decision not to have him suffer through any more. They have brought him home to spend the holidays and the time they have left. Nate loves to receive Christmas cards. He is all about celebrating the season. In fact, I took his picture Saturday with Santa at our PTO's annual Breakfast with Santa.
After this long story, I came here to ask if you would put an extra Christmas card in the mail. They would like Nate to receive a million cards for Christmas. Here is his contact information:
