Victoria Uwemedimo, born July 11th 1992, is a journalism student of Columbia University, New York. Her friends describe her as a beautiful, honest and generous human being who will become very successful in her career. Only one hindrance stands in the way: Victoria does not have Snapchat despite her recent purchase of an iPhone and living in the 21st century.

Even more disturbingly, she lacks a desire to attain the social media application, and she refuses to acknowledge her need for the app, despite her friends' desperate attempts to encourage her to do what is best for her.

Through this petition we hope to raise awareness for the problems of people like Vicky, and we hope to push her in the right direction. Seeing how many people care about this sensitive issue, she may gain the courage to make the right decision: the decision to change her life for the better, and for her loved ones who care about her wellbeing so deeply.

"Vicky's amazing, I love and care about her so much, but her snapchatlessness really pains me. I really can't communicate with her any more, without Snapchat it's like she's not human."
- Katarina Zimmer, caring friend.

"Our absence on snapchat has created an even greater distance between us. Greater than the geographical distance that keeps us apart. Without you on my top three best friends I have become lost and disillusioned with my self-ironising and verging on vain daily snapversations. Te necesito, te quiero, te busco...donde ESTAS?
- Rosie Collins, distressed friend.

"Victoria Lucy Uwemedimo, the girl that travels from place to place. All her friends and family miss her terribly when she galivants off to all these places but how can she share these moments with her close ones if she simply... doesn't have snapchat...?"
- Alexandra Uwemedimo, loving sister of Victoria
