My name is Valeria Rondon. I am a sophomore at the University of Central Florida studying microbiology.

I got a call at 6 a.m. saying that someone had stolen my vehicle and crashed it into a house. I was devastated because I had just bought the car a year ago and it was my first car. I have no way to get to work and I cannot afford a down payment on a new car, especially as a STEM major taking harder classes; it's much harder to work.

It would mean the world to me if I could reach this goal and afford to pay for a down payment and have a car while I’m in school. Anything is appreciated, thank you!
