Support Jei's Dream: Pan Kids 2025

Help Jei Get to IBJJF Pan Kids 2025

Hi, my name is Jei. I just turned 14, and I’m a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete. I train 7 days a week, almost every single day of the year, because I truly love this sport and I dream of becoming one of the best.

This year, I’m working hard toward competing at the IBJJF Pan Kids 2025: one of the biggest and most important tournaments for young athletes like me. It would mean everything to me to test myself at this level.

I lost my dad suddenly in January 2024. It’s been the hardest time of my life, but I’m staying focused and pushing forward. My mom now works three jobs to support me and keep my dream alive, just like my dad always did. I’m incredibly grateful for her strength, but it’s a lot, and we need some help.

I’m asking for $2,000 to cover the essential costs of this trip—flights, hotel, rental car, and food. This trip isn’t a vacation; it’s all about competing, learning, and growing. Every little bit helps me get closer to stepping on those mats and representing all the hard work, sacrifice, and love behind me.

If you can support or share my story, I would be truly thankful.

Jei
