The family of a youngster who, prior to his death, raised £250,000 for the NHS has expressed gratitude to the street art community for helping to keep his initiative alive. Before he passed away in November at the age of 15, Noah, a resident of Dedham, Essex, collaborated with over 750 artists globally. Noah’s “beautiful, fun-loving, smiley face” is now seen on stickers all around the world, according to his father Nathan.
Nathan remarked, “We’re excited to see where Noah’s face appears next because it’s incredibly heartwarming to see it in so many places.” “We also want to express our gratitude to everyone for their unwavering love and support during this difficult time.”
Noah, who had cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, and epilepsy, began his cardboard art project while school was closed because to the Covid-19 pandemic. A global response ensued from his father’s Instagram request for artistic collaboration. The project gained popularity, and money for the Colchester and Ipswich Hospitals Charity was raised through a number of exhibitions, book publishing, and auctions.
There are stickers featuring Noah’s image in a number of prominent places, including Buckingham Palace, sports arenas, and other landmarks. Nathan said that seeing Noah’s face at these meaningful locations makes them feel better and happier, transforming their sorrow into a celebration of his legacy. Now, the family plans to travel in search of as many stickers belonging to Noah as they can.
