Hi, my name is Lance Coon. My car recently broke down due to a failed transmission and is no longer drivable. For the past month, I’ve been walking to my part-time job while balancing 15–20 hours of work a week and attending college as a student-athlete.

This May, I’ll be transferring to a new college to continue playing football and pursuing my degree in sports-related physical therapy. I'm working hard, and saving where I can, but I need reliable transportation to manage school, work, and training.

Any support, big or small, would mean the world. My goal is to have a vehicle by the end of the spring semester. Thank you so much for your help!
