A boy with terminal brain cancer has received over 40,000 Christmas cards, along with the well-wishes of the U.S. president, after a friend encouraged people to “flood” the family mailbox with Christmas cheer.

Drake Quibodeaux was told he might have only 9-12 months to live back in March when he was diagnosed with Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a highly aggressive tumor found at the base of the brain. Only one in 20 children survive beyond a year. There is no known cure.
