Jonathan Guzman is a student of the Math, Science and Technology at the High School in Lawrence, MA. Three years ago, he founded the Humanitarian Club at Lawrence High School, with the objective of providing his peers with an opportunity to get involved in the community of Lawrence, as well as neighboring cities.
Guzman said that we all have something in common called a “dream”. His dream is making this Club a great place for students to express themselves to others outside their comfort zone. Hosting a Blood Drive through the Red Cross, a Bone Marrow Drive to Delete Blood Cancer-DKMS is one of the many activities they were involved during the past year, helping members develop leadership skills as well.
This Saturday, February 15, Jonathan Guzman and his Humanitarian Club will be involved in one big fight, a fight to save little Jerry’s life, a 5-year-old boy, who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2012 by hosting a Bone Marrow Drive to find a match for people like Jerry, who received his first bone marrow transplant last year. However, the leukemia has returned and he now needs a second transplant.
We congratulate Jonathan Guzman for his exemplary civic behavior, and we are confident that with the efforts of this group and massive community support, Jerry will regain his health. We pray to the Lord for this “dream” to come true.
