The young woman walked into a room filled with law enforcement officers. She had been invited to the suburban Orlando sheriff's office but was confused about why she was there.
Then they asked her to come up on stage, where one deputy ceremoniously unveiled a picture of a new Nissan Versa. "It's yours," he said. The woman, 20-year-old Samantha Rodriguez, was overwhelmed. For almost three years, she has been taking care of her five younger siblings. She's been keeping them clothed, fed and going to school every day -- all without the help of a car.
— Orange County Sheriff's Office December 24, 2018 The sheriff's department posted a video of the Christmas surprise online. And people began responding, asking to help.Then Wright remembered that Rodriguez and her siblings had arrived for their visit in an Uber because they didn't have a car. And the family got a welcome surpriseFour months after Christmas, Wright asked Rodriguez to come to his office. "I thought it was just a meeting," she said.
— Orange County Sheriff's Office April 8, 2019 Wright says this generosity won't be a one-time thing. "Anything I can do or we can do with the Sheriff's blessing we will. I'm proud of my unit," he said."It's heartwarming. It wasn't just me -- it was the unit, and all these people came together to help."Wright encouraged other people who want to help Rodriguez and her siblings to get in touch with the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
