UPDATE: Last week, we published a story about Drake Quibodeaux, 8, who's fighting DIPG, a terminal brain cancer with no cure. His Christmas wish was to receive 190 holiday cards, and in less than a week, you've blown that number out of the water.

He has since received more than 14,000 cards, including one from President Trump, and he's going to watch the LSU Tigers play in the Fiesta Bowl, courtesy of the organization.

Drake's mother, Danielle, is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support.

"It just boggles me," she says. "My little boy is reaching the nation and bringing the Christmas spirit back. He said to me, 'Mama, they love me ... they say I'm strong.' Keep spreading awareness and spreading the word so nobody else has to go through this. That's what it's all about."

Read Drake's full story below:

"If we have awareness, we have hope ..."

Danielle Quibodeaux, 34, speaks these words about a monster that's attacking far too many children.

Now, it's affecting her own.

On March 12, 2018, her son Drake, now 8, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG. It's the most deadly form of childhood cancer, with no known cure.

Drake, who lives in Vinton, Louisiana, is just like any other boy growing up in the South. He loves to hunt, fish, tear up the yard with his four-wheeler and, of course, cheer on the LSU Tigers.

In November, one of his wishes came true when he got to see the team play Rice. He got to spend time in the locker room with the players and meet Coach Orgeron.

But now that Christmas is upon us, there's a bigger project in the works.

"I just want him to know he's loved, and he's an amazing little man," Danielle says.

That's why the community has come together to flood his mailbox with Christmas cards.

"My friend, Jennifer, suggested doing this for the holiday," Danielle explains. "He asked for cards for his birthday in June, and he got about 70-80."

For Christmas, Drake wants to get 190 cards.

Let's blow that number out of the water.
