John Wall, A Man Of Integrity And A Man With A Big Heart, Surprises Struggling Family By Paying for Kids’ Private School Tuition An Buys Them Groceries
John Wall’s community service has been well documented, but he went one step further to make one family’s Christmas special this holiday season.
After hearing that the Fields family of Washington DC was struggling to make ends meet after the mother was diagnosed with cancer and the father lost his job, Wall surprised them with $1,000 worth of groceries, tickets to a Wizards game, AND tuition to the twins’ private school.
“I lost my dad at the age of nine to cancer, so I know how it is to deal with a parent battling and trying to survive,” Wall said. “Hearing their mom was going through that, I wanted to help.”
Wall’s good deed was documented on “Good Morning America” this morning:
Wall shared the surprise at a private screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which he hosted for 200 underprivileged children earlier this month. One of the film’s stars, Kevin Hart, even gave the crowd a shoutout:
Between this and giving each of his teammates a Rolex watch, John Wall is the real Santa this season. Nobody tell Colin Cowherd.
You can see Wall, Jodie Meeks, and the Wizards play the Boston Celtics at 5:30 p.m. on ABC.

Jessica Wilde releases ‘Love Like This’ ft. Josh Barry
Highly acclaimed and much-loved singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and South London native Jessica Wilde kicks of her 2024 by joining forces with the incredible Josh Barry for a soulful Valentine’s Day release ‘Love Like This’, out 14th February.
Packed with soaring emotions and infused with smoky orchestral atmospheres, ‘Love Like This’ is a striking nu-soul gem which will be released on Wilde’s forthcoming album and follows her recent singles ‘Freak Out’ and ‘Feathers’ ft. Zoe Kypri. The two 2023 singles saw her pick up many spins on BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists with Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1 Introducing with Jess Iszatt, John Kennedy’s X-Posure Daily on Radio X, playlist support across the board from Spotify, Apple, Youtube and Tidal amongst other acclaim. Josh Barry has also been picking up serious heat, recently featuring with Rudimental and Sigma, collaborating with Nile Rogers and opening for Rag ‘N’ Bone Man on tour. Josh Barry brings a dynamic force to the collab as he embodies the spirit of legendary icons like James Brown and Jimi Hendrix.
On ‘Love Like This’, Wilde explains, “When we got in the studio, the song basically wrote itself, we wanted to capture that raw soulful essence in our husky tones, and a nostalgic feeling of those classic Marvin Gaye love songs but with a 2024 flip.”
As the dreamy, smooth track escalates, Wilde and Barry’s yearning vocals entwine with epic effect as the pair find the ‘Love Like This’ that they have been searching and waiting for. The release comes with a Valentine’s launch show at the iconic ‘The Bedford’ and a 6-part Instagram & TikTok reel series, released every other day from 16th February, which everyone should tune into to see Wilde and Barry explore the track’s steamy and romantic themes in more depth through nostalgic aesthetics.
2024 looks set to be an exciting new year for Wilde. With her album on the horizon, she has been gaining growing support from not only BBC Radio 1 but also 6 Music, BBC Radio London, KISS, editorial playlist support across DSPs, as well as features in CLASH, Complex, Wonderland, The Independent and many more.
