Amazon said they can’t take the popsicles back so, now Noah’s mother has to pay the bill.
A GoFundMe was set up by a friend of the family to help offset the cost of the order.
Noah’s shopping spree was also shared on Instagram along with him enjoying one of the popsicles.
Originally the goal was set at $2,619 but generous donors blew past that, and as of Thursday morning had donated $5,730, with one donor giving the family $1,000.
Noah’s mother gave an update on the fundraiser’s site saying that they raised the money to cover the bill in 24 hours.
As for the extra money:
“As a parent to a child living with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), all additional donations will go towards Noah’s Education and additional supports,” Bryant wrote.
A former social work classmate of Bryant’s from NYU saw Bryant’s post on Facebook recounting Noah’s escapades, and reached out to her to set up a GoFundMe to cover the cost of the order.
“As (truly!) adorable as this story is, Jennifer Bryant (@amazin_mii), Noah’s mom, is a social work student at NYU (we took Policy I together) and simply cannot afford this,” wrote Katie Schloss on Instagram. “Amazon will not take back the popsicles, and Ms. Bryant, mom to 3 boys, doesn’t know how she’s going to be able to pay this off, in addition to student loans and all of her family’s other expenses.”
The fund, called “Noah Bought $2,619 Worth of SpongeBob Popsicles” has well surpassed the initial goal and as of Saturday had raised nearly $17,000. Bryant said the extra funding will be used for Noah’s education as she hopes to enroll him in a private school in Manhattan for kids on the autism spectrum this fall.
“I’m so overwhelmed with the generosity. I really, really, really appreciate it,” she said. The family was able to salvage two of the cases for the kids to enjoy, and Amazon told Bryant they would donate the cost of the popsicles to a charity of her choice.
As for Noah, he’s enjoying the newfound fame of his exploits.
“We were watching another clip today where somebody said, ‘Yeah, we like his style’ and he said ‘mommy they like my style,’” Bryant said. “I told him, ‘Yeah, they like you. You have a lot of supporters and you have new friends now.”
