It’s all too easy to shop until you drop on Amazon, and a young boy from New York went wild by ordering nearly $3,000 worth of SpongeBob SquarePants popsicles on his mom’s account.
Noah Bryant, who is 4, is a big fan of the sponge, and recently surprised his family by spending $2,618.85 on 918 popsicles that are 58 boxes from the online superstore, sent to his aunt’s house. Though the youngster was all smiling in a photo with one of the frozen SpongeBob pops, the splurge was no laughing matter for his mom Jennifer. The sweet treats are unfortunately nonrefundable, inspiring a family friend to launch a GoFundMe campaign to cover the cost of the shopping spree. On the fundraising page, a friend explained that Bryant, a mom of three, is studying social work at New York University and couldn’t afford the SpongeBob spread. The GoFundMe pitch went live on Monday and $5,780 in donations have poured in as of Thursday of this week, smashing the original goal of $2,619. Bryant wrote in a follow-up note on GoFundMe. Thank you SO much for your generosity and support,” “As a child living with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), all future donations that are coming in will go towards Noah’s education and additional support that is needed. We cannot thank you enough. Sometimes things happen for a reason…..Ed
