My Travel Story

by: Lucy Ellis Start Date: Sep 2, 2025 - End Date: Mar 1, 2026

Hi, my name is Lucy, and I’m a 10th grade student at PHS. This spring, my high school class has the opportunity to travel to Japan for an educational and cultural exchange program. This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip where we’ll explore cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, visit historical landmarks, and experience Japanese culture firsthand.

I’m raising $7000. to help cover the cost of my airfare, lodging, meals, and program fees. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring me one step closer to learning, exploring, and representing my school abroad.

Why this trip means so much to me:

It’s a chance to experience another culture beyond the classroom.

Traveling with my school will help me grow in independence, responsibility, and cultural understanding.

Japan has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and this trip is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it real.

I’m incredibly grateful for any support you can give—whether that’s donating, sharing this fundraiser, or simply sending words of encouragement.

Thank you for helping make this dream possible. Arigatou gozaimasu!
