Justin chats with Jerry Marshall, a lifelong Evanston, IL resident. Jerry is a coach, ordained deacon, community volunteer and devoted father of 4 children, including two middle school kids.
Diagnosed over 20 years ago with a rare disease that primarily impacts African Americans, Jerry lost sight in one eye in his 20's and is currently in need of a kidney transplant. With a blood type of "b positive", Jerry faces a waiting list of over 7 years.
Despite a lifetime of adversity, Jerry remains positive, committed to his faith, and devoted to selflessly giving his time and energy to lifting up the youth of Evanston.
