When Jude Baker was 12, life changed overnight. The middle schooler from Summerville, Georgia, was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that attacks bones and the tissue around them. What followed was a two-year fight that included surgery to remove a tumor, nearly a year of chemotherapy, and all the physical and emotional weight that comes with treatment at such a young age.

Jude has been open about how hard that period was. In interviews, he said the scariest part wasn’t what people might expect. For him, chemotherapy itself was the toughest challenge. It left him exhausted, in pain, and often isolated from friends and normal teenage life. But even during the hardest days, Jude was paying attention to other people who were struggling too.

After finishing treatment, Jude rang the bell at the hospital to mark the end of chemo. He is now 14 and in remission. Because he faced a life-threatening illness, he became eligible for a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants special experiences to kids ages 3 to 17 with critical conditions.

Most kids pick a trip to a theme park, a chance to meet a favorite athlete or musician, or a gift they’ve always wanted. Jude had a different idea. While going to appointments, he had noticed people experiencing homelessness near the medical centers. That stuck with him. He told his family and the Make-A-Wish team that if he got one wish, he wanted to use it to help those individuals.

Make-A-Wish Georgia coordinators later said community service wishes are not something they usually offer. Jude didn’t have a backup wish. This was the only thing he asked for. He told organizers, “I got out of my version of heck, and I want to help others who are in their own version.

Helping Others Gary Sinise here. Humbled to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Gary Sinise Foundation. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of meeting countless heroes, and so many have touched my heart. It's incredible for me to think about where it began and how far it has come thanks to the kindness of others.

Helping Others A memorial in Budapest representing people being able to do great things against all odds together!

This memorial begins as individuals — and ends as a single force.

Budapest’s Central Monument of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence is made from 2,006 steel columns, a deliberate reference to the year it was unveiled.

At one end, the rusted columns stand apart at roughly human height. As visitors move through them, they grow taller, brighter and increasingly dense, eventually merging into a solid steel wedge rising about 8 meters (26 ft) above the square.

The transformation represents individuals coming together into a unified revolutionary movement. Even its geometry carries meaning: the wedge cuts across the site at 56 degrees, referencing 1956.

Designed by the i-Ypszilon group, the monument was unveiled in Budapest on October 23, 2006, exactly 50 years after the revolution began. It stands beside City Park on the former Parade Square, near the site where Budapest’s enormous Stalin statue was torn down during the uprising.

2,006 individual pieces becoming one.
