Hi! My name is Renae and I'm a junior studying American Sign Language at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY!

I'll be fundraising some money to help support my summer abroad program to France to learn and immerse myself in the history, culture, and language of the French Deaf community. The program is 3 weeks long, with 2 weeks spent in Paris traveling local areas, with the last week spent in Lyon. I plan on becoming a sign language interpreter, and I hope to broaden my horizons by learning a variety of sign languages, with this trip as the first step to learning French Sign Language and experiencing their culture. Any donations will fund the program costs, air flight tickets, and/or food and other accommodations while in France!

Here is a link to the program that I have been accepted into!
