Help PJ Finish Auto Tech Training

Donation protected
Just over a year ago, Paul Whipson realized a dream when he won a full scholarship to attend Universal Technical Institute. He entered the competition with this video, which explains his goals. He is training to become an auto technician, and will graduate in September with a 3.94 GPA and 99.63% attendance. Based on his success at Universal Technical Institute, he has been selected for a highly competitive training program with Mercedes-Benz in Florida that begins in January, but now he needs your help......

Paul's parents passed away when he was young and he and his brother have had to support themselves. Paul has worked at 3-D Bowl & Sideouts for 4 years , but he hasn't been able to save much money because he's been making just enough to live on. He now needs to move to Florida to begin the Mercedes program, but he needs moving expenses and funding for rent and food once he gets there. Mercedes has informed him that he won't be able to work during the first few months because of the rigor of the program, and they recommend he just focus on his training. 

Please consider donating to this wonderful young man who has been working so hard to make sure he achieves the highest level of education he can in his field.
