Lorenzo's Wish for Tuition Assistance 

Despite being diagnosed with cancer as a high school student, Lorenzo did not allow the illness to deter him from his dream of earning a college degree.

On April 14th, Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana(link is external) granted Lorenzo’s wish for tuition assistance at the University of Houston(link is external). To celebrate his wish, Lorenzo got to throw the opening pitch at the Houston Cougar Baseball(link is external) game! Now enjoying his time at UH, Lorenzo is majoring in English in preparation for a future as a teacher and author. He hopes to share his story, so that other kids facing a similar battle know they are not alone. Special thanks to Don Sanders and the University of Houston(link is external) for making Lorenzo’s wish extra special!
