💙 Three months have passed, but Xavier Taylor’s family has never stopped believing that their boy’s story is still being written.
📍 Location: United States
Twelve-year-old Xavier was playing baseball when a ball accidentally struck him in the neck. He collapsed, his heart stopped, and he has remained in a coma ever since. Since May 26, his family has endured three heartbreaking months of hospital rooms, uncertainty, waiting, and praying for the moment their son will finally wake up.
But Xavier has not been fighting alone. Communities across the country have rallied around him. Bridges have been illuminated blue, baseball bats have appeared on front porches, teams have worn his No. 6, and his jersey has hung in dugouts. People hundreds and thousands of miles away have learned Xavier’s name and joined his family in praying for a child they have never even met.
🙏 Tonight, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern, his family is asking everyone who has stood beside Xavier to come together once again for “Rise Up and Xave.” One moment. One prayer. One community united for the same little boy and the same miracle his family has been believing in since that baseball field.
Please pray for Xavier’s body, his brain, and his healing. Pray for his parents and family, who have spent three exhausting months beside their son, waking each morning hoping that today will finally bring a breakthrough.
💙 If you believe in prayer, please take a moment tonight to say Xavier’s name. Leave a message below for his family and remind them that they are not standing alone.
Xavier, people across this country are still standing with you. Keep fighting, little man. Rise up, Xave. 💙⚾🙏
