Episode Details

The Taylor family, grieving the loss of their sixteen-year-old son Hendriks to suicide, transformed their pain into action by revitalizing a dilapidated baseball field in Summerland, British Columbia. Renamed Field ninety-six, the field was Hendriks sanctuary, where he played endlessly with his father and brother. Diagnosed with a brain tumor at eight, Hendriks faced numerous challenges, but baseball kept him going. The community rallied, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars and volunteering countless hours to transform the field into a state-of-the-art facility. The first game attracted nearly a thousand spectators, bringing healing and community pride. If youre struggling, reach out to Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868.
