Jonah Gomez

Jonah Gomez is a beautiful four year old boy. He has Sickle Hemoglobin D disease and Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency. He is the only known person to have both diseases. He also has a heart condition, Supravalvular Pulmonary Stenosis. He has received over 39 blood transfusions in his short life. He needs a transfusion almost every 6 weeks and may need a stem cell transplant.

His mother, Jessica Kasparian Gomez was the student body president at Taylorsville High School in 1990. Together with friends, family and local businesses we hope to raise money to offset their medical bills.
