Help Arabella Compete in Los Angeles!

Hello! I’m Arabella-Violet Fernandez Nishijima. I am 10 years old, and a student in the Chinese Immersion program at Maryknoll School. On April 26th, I won the elementary division for the 2025 Hawai’i Chinese Bridge Preliminary Competition. I will be representing Hawaii in the elementary division in the 2025 Chinese Bridge - Proficiency Competition to be held in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, May 17th, 2025.

My parents and I just found out today that this trip will not be funded by the school, and with the competition less than 2 weeks away, any contribution, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated and put towards our travel accommodations.

Thank you in advance for your contribution. You have no idea how much it means to me to have your support. - Arabella
