KATY, TX (KTRK) -- A widow of Katy soldier is raising money to buy her husband's car back to give to their son for his 16th birthday.

Jonathan Rozier was killed in 2003 while serving overseas in Iraq. Jonathan left behind his wife, Jessica, and a 9-month old son.

According to a GoFundMe, Jessica sold her late-husband's car to make ends meet.

13 years later, Jessica tracked down the 1999 Toyota Celica convertible and wants to give it to her now 16-year-old son.
