Tonight, please take just one minute to think about the boy wearing number 6.

More than three long months have passed since 12-year-old Xavier Taylor’s life changed in a heartbreaking accident.

Through every difficult hour, his family has remained by his hospital bedside, holding onto hope even when the days have felt impossibly long.

They have faced exhaustion, fear, and uncertainty—but they have never been alone.

Across communities and beyond, messages of love and support continue to reach Xavier and his family.

The “Rise Up and Xave” movement has brought thousands of hearts together, reminding this family that people everywhere are still thinking about their little boy.

Tonight, you don’t need to do anything extraordinary.

Take a quiet moment at home.

Close your eyes.

Say a prayer.

Send a thought of strength toward a family that has been fighting for more than three months.

For one minute, let thousands of people pause together with the same hope in their hearts.

One child.

One family.

One jersey bearing the number 6.

And one dream that everyone is still holding onto.

Keep fighting, Xavier.

There are so many people who are still waiting to see you smile, hear your voice, and hopefully watch you step onto a baseball field again.

Wake up, Xavier.

The world is still waiting for you.
