<div><strong>Help Me Travel from California to Florida for the Disney College Program!</strong>
</div>
<div>Hi everyone! My name is Julian Garcia, and I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve been accepted into the Disney College Program (DCP) in Florida! This opportunity means so much to me — both personally and professionally — and I’m grateful for the chance to take part in such a respected program.
</div>
<div><strong>The Disney College Program is a 6-month learning and work experience that will allow me to:</strong>
</div>
<div> ✨ Gain real-world experience with The Walt Disney Company
</div>
<div> ✨ Build professional skills in a world-class environment
</div>
<div> ✨ Grow my communication, leadership, and customer service abilities
</div>
<div> ✨ Strengthen my career path as I work toward completing my degree in Project Management
</div>
<div>This program is a major step toward my long-term goals.
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Asking for Support</strong>
</div>
<div>While the program provides housing once I arrive, I am responsible for all travel and relocation expenses from California to Florida. I’ll be driving cross-country, so these costs include:
</div>
<div>Gas and vehicle expenses, Lodging during the multi-day drive, Food and essentials for the trip, Luggage and moving supplies, Initial expenses before my first paycheck
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My move-in date is <strong>January 30, 2026,</strong> and the total costs add up quickly.
</div>
<div>This year has also been challenging financially. I haven’t been able to work consistently due to a meniscus tear that required surgery and a long recovery process. Because of that, saving has been difficult, even though I’ve been doing everything I can to prepare for this opportunity.
</div>
<div>My fundraising goal is $2,000, which will cover travel, lodging, food, and supplies, plus a small buffer for unexpected expenses. Any support will help me get to Florida safely and start the program on the right foot.
</div>
<div><strong>❤️ How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Any amount,  even a few dollars,  truly makes a meaningful difference in helping me reach Florida and begin this new chapter.
</div>
<div>If you aren’t able to donate, sharing my GoFundMe means just as much and helps a lot!
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and support my dream. I can’t wait to represent California proudly as I begin this next adventure with Disney!
