Joshua Stasney Is Graduating
Help Us Create the Greatest Graduation Gift Ever!
Joshua is stepping into the next chapter of his life.
Before he does, we’re gathering the voices of the people who helped shape him: family, friends, teachers, coaches, mentors, and everyone who loves him.
We are creating a SURPRISE graduation film filled with memories, advice, encouragement, funny stories, and photos from Joshua’s life.
Not just a video.
A time capsule of love, wisdom, and belief he can carry with him forever.
What We Need From You
Please send us a short selfie video for Joshua.
Your video can be simple. No need to be fancy. Just speak from the heart.
You can share:
A favorite memory of Joshua
A funny story
A piece of life advice
Something you admire about him
A message of congratulations
A prayer, blessing, or encouragement
What you hope he always remembers
Video Instructions
Please record your video horizontally if possible.
Hold your phone sideways, not vertical.
Find a quiet place with good light.
Face a window if you can- Put the light on your face, not coming from behind you.
Keep the camera steady.
Speak clearly.
Try to keep your message between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.
Look into the camera like you are talking directly to Joshua.
Most important: be real.
Funny is great. Emotional is great. Simple is great.
Perfect is not required.
Photo Instructions
We would also love photos of Joshua through the years.
Please upload any favorite photos you have:
Baby photos
School photos
Sports photos
Family photos
Funny moments
Milestone moments
Friend group photos
Graduation-related photos
The more meaningful, the better.
Suggested Starters
Here are a few easy ways to begin your video:
“Hey Joshua, it’s hard to believe you’re graduating…”
“One thing I’ve always loved about you is…”
“My favorite memory of you is…”
“If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be…”
“I hope you always remember…”
“Joshua, as you step into this next chapter…”

Deadline
Please upload your video and photos by:
Wednesday, May 20th 2026
This gives us enough time to edit everything into Joshua’s graduation film.
One Last Thing
Don’t overthink it.
Joshua does not need a perfect speech.
He needs your voice.
He needs your story.
He needs to hear, years from now, that the people behind him believed in him before the next chapter even began.
This is the greatest graduation gift ever.
The Deadline is Wednesday, May 20th, 2026 at midnight CST.
