In Memory of
Godwin Lawson

The Godwin Lawson Foundation (GLF) was born from tragedy in 2012, when Yvonne and Calvin Lawson transformed their grief into a powerful force for good. Their son, Godwin, heroically tried to protect friends from a knife attack and lost his life. GLF stands as a testament to his bravery, committed to preventing such tragedies.

We understand not everyone is able to make a financial donation, but if you can afford to make a small donation, then we would greatly appreciate it.
