Interact Clubs To Sponsor Central American Boy In Need of A Heart Transplant

The Fuller Middle and Framingham High School Interact Clubs are joining forces to sponsor a young boy from El Salvador in need of a heart transplant.

Brian is a third grade student, who loves to play soccer, but is held back by the debilitating disease he was born with, said Fuller Middle Interact Club advisor Michelle Gallagher,

“Together with The Gift of Life and The Framingham Rotary, both Interact Clubs are bringing Brian to Boston to have this life saving surgery at Mass General Hospital,” said Gallagher. “While Brian is here, he and his family will stay with a family from the Framingham Rotary Club.”

Brian will arrive in mid-October. His surgery is scheduled for a couple of weeks later, said Gallagher.

Both Interact Clubs will hold fundraising events to meet their target quota of $1,500 each, to help with Brian’s surgical expenses.

Fuller’s Interact Club will host a bake sale Wednesday, during the school’s open house from 6-8 p.m.

“Please come and support this worthwhile cause,” said Gallagher. “There will also be a jar for additional donations.”

”Our students are very excited to be involved in this project,” said Gallagher. ” The feeling you get when you help another is amazing, but to help save another’s life, wow!”
