Four-year-old Noah Bryant gave his mother an unpleasant surprise when the $2600 worth of SpongeBob popsicles he ordered were delivered to his auntie’s house last month.
Noah Bryant is a huge SpongeBob fan and ordered the 51 cases of the popsicles on Amazon, which amounts to 918 popsicles. His mother, Jennifer Bryant, who lives in Brooklyn, posted about the mishap on Instagram on April 19.
“Noah loves SpongeBob soooo much that he managed to purchase $2618.85 worth of SpongeBob popsicles from Amazon & had it sent to his Auntie houseWeary face. That equals to 51 cases, 918 popsicles. DID I MENTION THE NO RETURN POLICY🥶😭🤦🏾♀️,” wrote Bryant.
A GoFundMe was set up by her friend, fellow student Katie Schloss, to help Noah’s mom raise the $2618.85 spent on the SpongeBob popsicles, as they could not be returned to Amazon. As of May 7, $12,493 had been raised by 367 donors. It took less than 24 hours for the GoFundMe page to raise the necessary amount to pay for the popsicles.
Bryant is a social work student at New York University with three little boys. She works, goes to school, interns while raising her sons. Jennifer thanked the donors for their support on the GoFundMe page on May 4. She also noted that Noah has Autism Spectrum Disorder and said that she will use any future donations towards his support and education.
“Thank you SO much for your mind-blowing generosity and support. We’re so grateful to have made back the $2618.85 in a mere 24 hours (!!!). As a child living with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), all future donations will go towards Noah’s education and additional supports. We cannot thank you enough. Truly. Love Jennifer.”
Many blessings to this adorable family!
