🚨💙 TONIGHT, AMERICA IS BEING ASKED TO STOP — AND PRAY FOR 12-YEAR-OLD XAVIER TAYLOR.

Three months ago, a baseball struck Xavier Taylor in the neck.

In a matter of seconds, a normal day at the ballfield became every parent’s nightmare.

Xavier collapsed. His heart stopped. And he never woke up.

Now, three months later, his family is still sitting beside their little boy, still waiting for the moment they have prayed for every single day:

“Xavier, open your eyes.” 💔

Tonight, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern, his family is asking communities across America to come together for something they are calling “Rise Up and Xave.”

One moment.

One prayer.

One little boy.

💙 And this is no longer just Xavier’s community.

Bridges have been lit blue for him.

Baseball teams have worn his No. 6.

His jersey has hung in dugouts.

Bats have appeared on front porches.

And people hundreds — even thousands — of miles away have learned the name of a child they have never met.

Xavier.

For three months, his family has lived through hospital rooms, sleepless nights and the unbearable silence of waiting for their son to wake up.

Three months without hearing his voice.

Three months of wondering what tomorrow will bring.

Three months of hoping that today might finally be the day.

And somehow…

they are still praying.

Still believing.

Still refusing to give up.

🙏 Tonight, they are asking everyone who has stood beside Xavier to stand with him again.

If you believe in prayer, say Xavier’s name tonight.

Pray for his healing.

Pray for his strength.

Pray for his parents.

Pray for the family that has had to endure three months of uncertainty no parent should ever have to experience.

And pray for the miracle they are still holding onto.

Because sometimes, when there is nothing left to say…

all we can do is pray.

💙⚾🙏 Xavier, you are not forgotten.

Tonight, homes, churches, baseball fields and communities across America can come together and remind one little boy:

You are still being fought for.
You are still being prayed for.
You are still being loved.

Rise up, Xave. 💙

If you’re praying for Xavier tonight, leave a 💙 below so his family can see just how many people are standing with them.
