Hello, my name is Luciano Rondini. I was a jazz student at Montclair State University and I'm starting this GoFundMe to ask you to help me continue my education and create a better future for my daughter.

As of the last year, my family and I have struggled financially more than we ever have. We were evicted, forced to move in with a family friend in Long Island, a place from which I was traveling to and from school almost every day, amassing about 6 hours in traffic on a daily basis. Eventually, my parents had to leave again and moved to North Carolina. I ended up living in New Jersey with my girlfriend in order to be able to finish the fall semester, and while living together, she became pregnant.

To say the least, all this had greatly affected my ability to focus on my education, but when I submitted a tuition appeal, it was denied. Now I am $15,000 in debt, have a 1-week-old, and am unable to finish my education. So I created this to ask for your help. I really believe if I'm given the chance to be here and finish college, I could build a better future for my daughter, and whatever you may donate to support will be greatly appreciated.
