Update: Sweet Noah has went to be with our precious Heavenly Father. Noah was such a sweet loving little boy. He could light up a room with his beautiful smile. Over the past few days he was stronger than I have ever imagined being in my life. God needed Noah and you went to be with the lord today. I would still love for everyone to consider placing an order for us to remember Noah and his strength!
This money will not replace the loss of Noah, but it will help with the financial aspect for the family!
Please keep his family in your prayers during this tragic time. Noah now has the opportunity to help save 7 other childrens lives.
Please continue to pray hard for this sweet boy. He needs all the prayers he can get.
The grandmother of an 11-year-old boy hit by a car while trick-or-treating says the child will be taken off of life support Sunday morning, unless one final brain scan shows signs of recovery. The family is asking everyone to pray for a miracle.
"They did the brain scan at 7 o'clock tonight, and it was not a success. His brain is not interacting or responding to anything at all," Renea Smith, Noah Chambers' grandmother, tells WFMY News "They are going to do one more test in 12 hours to see if anything has changed. And if not, they are going to take [Noah] off the ventilator," Smith said. "He is on a breathing machine right now helping him breathe, because he cannot breathe on his own."
Noah Chambers was attempting to cross the road at a Trunk-or-Treat event in Oak Ridge, according to NC State Highway Patrol (NCSHP). The accident happened around 7:13 p.m. Friday in the 8400 block of Haw River Road at Bethel United Methodist Church.
Noah Chambers was seriously injured and rushed to Brenner Children’s Hospital with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC.

Smith said about 70 people have been in the hospital supporting the boy and his family since the incident.
"He came by ambulance. When he got here, his face was scratched up. He has trauma to his head. One of his kidneys had to have a tube put in to drain, because it was not working properly. His kidneys are not functioning. He is just not responding to anybody," said Smith.
Smith said her grandson also suffered a fractured pelvis from the hit. She is heartbroken seeing what her family is going through.
"I feel numb. I am heartbroken. I feel somebody has just ripped my heart out, and just stomped it. And I haven't ate or slept in two days. All I'm doing is praying and just asking God, please work a miracle. This is my grandson, my little boy, I just don't want to lose him," said Smith.
The family is asking everyone to pray for a miracle tonight, and Smith said they are grateful for the outpouring of love.
"We have had people praying for him from around the world -- Thousands and thousands of people," said Smith. "Just continue to keep us in your prayers because we are going to need it now more than ever."
N.C. State Highway Patrol confirmed Saturday night that no charges have been filed against the driver who hit Noah. The driver remained on scene and cooperated with investigators, authorities said.
