Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,
My name is Leighann Nguyen, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my husband, Benny Nguyen and myself with a heartfelt request to help our son, Jude Nguyen, achieve a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—traveling to Japan with his class this summer, 2025!
Why This Trip Means So Much
Since he was young, Jude has been fascinated by Japanese culture, history, and language. He is a straight-A student, currently taking his second year of Japanese at Rosemont High School here in Sacramento. He is a dedicated and hardworking young man, and—perhaps most impressively—he rarely asks for anything for himself. When he told us how much this trip meant to him, we knew we had to do everything possible to help make it happen.
What Your Support Will Help With
The cost of the trip includes airfare, accommodations, meals, and educational experiences that will immerse him in Japan’s rich culture. While he has been working hard to contribute, the full expense is a challenge. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward making this dream a reality.
How You Can Help
If you’re able to donate, we would be beyond grateful. If you can’t donate at this time, simply sharing this fundraiser with your network would mean the world to us!
Thank you so much for considering supporting Jude on this incredible journey. Your kindness and generosity will not only help him see Japan but also inspire him to continue working hard toward his goals.
With gratitude,
Benny and Leighann Nguyen
