💙🙏 HE’S ONLY 12 — AND FOR THREE MONTHS, HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR HIM TO OPEN HIS EYES.

His name is Xavier Taylor.

He was 12 years old, from Maple Shade, New Jersey, and doing what he loved most — playing baseball.

Then, on May 26, a baseball struck him in the neck.

In a matter of moments, an ordinary day at the ballpark became every parent’s worst nightmare.

Xavier was rushed to the hospital, where his family has remained by his side through an agonizing fight for recovery.

Three months.

Three months of hospital rooms instead of baseball fields.

Three months of monitors instead of laughter.

Three months of parents waking up each morning with the same prayer:

“Please let today be the day.”

But something extraordinary happened along the way.

Xavier’s fight stopped being just a family’s fight.

His community began praying.

Teams honored his No. 6.

People who had never met him learned his name.

And strangers began hoping alongside two parents who refuse to give up.

Now his family is asking for one more moment of unity.

At 8:30 p.m. Eastern, supporters are being invited to join Rise Up and Xave — a coordinated moment of prayer and hope for Xavier.

For his healing.

For his strength.

For his family.

And for the miracle they continue to believe is possible. 🙏💙

Tonight, somewhere across America, thousands of people may pause at the same moment for one little boy.

A boy who should be worrying about baseball scores, homework and what he’s doing this weekend.

Instead, his parents are waiting beside a hospital bed.

His name is Xavier Taylor.

And tonight, his family is asking the world not to forget him.

💙⚾ KEEP FIGHTING, XAVE.
