Fuel Ally Gee's Public Health Dream

Help a Diné girly get to grad school!
Yá'át'ééh. My name is Ally Gee and I am Diné from Low Mountain, Arizona. I was recently accepted into a Master of Public Health program at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. My specific program is the Community Oriented Public Health Practice (COPHP) concentration. The COPHP program is a full time, in-person program beginning in the Fall 2024 semester. Obtaining my master's degree is not just about education, but bringing public health back to my people. My career goals are aimed at serving my community and the move to Seattle is crucial for me to pursue this goal.
It has been a tough journey for me over the last couple of years due to an unexpected health issue that resulted in permanent hearing loss. Unfortunately, my health issues were extremely costly and set me back financially. I am creating this GoFundMe to raise funds to help with the relocation costs from Colorado to Washington. I will be relocating with my partner, Jeremy. I calculated the costs of moving to be over $3000, including moving supplies, transportation, and travel costs. My family plans to help as much as they can with the move and additional expenses, but I am aware that we will need additional financial assistance to make this possible.
I am super excited for this incredible opportunity to attend graduate school, not only for myself but for future generations of Diné people. Any donated amount, share, or words of encouragement are appreciated. <3
Cost Breakdown:
Moving Vehicle $2,000

Food $200

*edited the goal because I thought I had it set to $3000 originally.
