Support Ashley’s Journey: Helping Replace a Stolen Car

Donation protected
Hi, I’m Ashley Anderson, an undergraduate student at UCLA. I’m reaching out because I’m facing a challenge I wasn’t prepared for. I’m working hard to finish my degree, and I’ll be graduating in June 2025, but today I’m dealing with the theft of my car, which I rely on for work and school.

My journey hasn’t been easy. Growing up as a former foster youth, I’ve learned to navigate life without much family support. My grandfather, who has been a source of support, has health issues, and my mom struggles with addiction. I lost my dad unexpectedly in April 2022. I’m lucky to have the support of my grandmother, who’s always been there for me, but she simply can’t help financially. Through it all, I’ve worked hard to support myself.

A major milestone for me was saving up to buy my car—it meant I could rely on myself to get to work and keep moving forward. But this morning, Sunday, February 16, 2025, my car was stolen. I work for a state official, so reliable transportation is essential for me to meet the demands of my job. Without a car, it’s going to be a struggle to keep up.

With graduation approaching and school costs already taking up most of my savings, replacing my car feels impossible on my own. I’m hoping to raise funds so I can get a another car and continue working and going to school without further setbacks.

If you’re able to contribute, no matter the amount, it would help me get back on my feet and stay on track toward my goals. Thank you so much for reading my story and for your kindness. It means more than I can express.
