Hi, my name is Sheranae Stoddard and I’m fundraising on behalf of my son Gabriel Stoddard. He has been given an amazing opportunity to participate in a student exchange program in Japan. This trip will allow him to immerse himself in Japanese culture, practice the language, and gain a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will shape his future in incredible ways.

Gabe has always been passionate about learning about other cultures, studying Japanese language, and traveling. When he was accepted into the exchange program, we were overjoyed.

That’s why we are reaching out to family, friends, and kind supporters to help make this dream a reality. Every contribution will go directly toward:

• Airfare and travel costs

• Program fees and housing

• Meals and daily living expenses

• Educational materials and cultural activities

This trip is not just a journey abroad—it’s an investment in Gabe’s education and future. We truly believe it will give him confidence, independence, and a deeper understanding of the world.

Any amount, big or small, will help bring him one step closer to Japan. If you’re not able to donate, we’d be so grateful if you could share this page with others.

Thank you for your support and encouragement—it means the world to us.
