'He never had a backup wish' | Teen cancer survivor uses Make-A-Wish to help community
Jude Baker, a 14-year-old cancer survivor, used his Make-A-Wish to help over 300 homeless people by providing meals and supplies, refusing to eat first.
- In his hometown, community volunteers organized Jude Baker’s wish, with Make-A-Wish Georgia, to help over 300 homeless people, as Jude said he wanted to give back.
- Jude Baker, diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, completed months of treatment and rang the hospital bell, noticing people experiencing homelessness during hospital visits and wanting to help.
- Volunteers packed supplies, gathered sleeping bags, prepared hot meals, and a GoFundMe supported the effort in Summerville, Georgia, with Jude refusing to eat until everyone was served.
- The effort helped more than 300 people, and now in remission Jude says he hopes his wish inspires others while Jude's family found watching his treatment incredibly difficult.
- Unlike typical wishes for trips or celebrities, Jude's request to serve his community was unlike almost anything Emily Campbell, Make-A-Wish Georgia coordinator, had seen.
