After every game he has played this season, Wade has been swapping jerseys with some of the league's most talented young superstars.

Another surprise guest is a mother whose family had lost everything in a fire and who was taken on a shopping spree by Wade to rebuild their life. The clip also features an incredibly emotional testimonial from Dwyane’s mother, JoLinda Wade, who was incarcerated for many of his formative years. Watch the whole thing here:
