Help Gray Start Their PhD Journey in NY

Donation protected
In case you didn't know Gray was accepted to the Health Psychology and Clinical Science program at The Graduate Center CUNY for Fall 2025! They are very excited about starting their PhD in Clinical Science, but moving cross country is literally so stressful haha

I am making this for them cause I know a ton of people have asked how they can congratulate Gray or if they could help us in anyway, so I thought what the heck haha.

As many of you know Gray and I have lived in Southern California our whole lives and have about 11 years of life together that is going to need to make its way to NY. While i'm not moving right away Gray is and will be surviving on their own while also teaching and taking classes starting in July.

Gray's first stipend paycheck from the school will not be dispersed until the end of September, which means that Gray will be trying to live off no income for about 3 months. EEK (obviously I, Lexington, will help in any way I can but i'm not able to fully support them on my income).

We have been saving and making sure we are as financially prepared as possible but still this will drain a lot of our savings.

The money that we are raising will be used for the following:

  • Paying for the Moving company from LA to NY
  • Flights to and from NY while we get the Cats moved, sign leases, help with moving. (the cat flights are gonna be a doozy)
  • Furniture or any needed household items once in NY
  • Hotels and Air BnBs while we don't have a livable space yet.

The $1600 goal is technically just half the moving costs but any help would be greatly appreciated. That way all savings and stipends we do have can go towards general living costs and rent.

We know times are tough for everyone and literally the world is burning but if anyone would like to congratulate Gray on their PhD or just celebrate them by donating a few coffee bucks we would be forever grateful!

Love you all and thank you in advance :]

Ps. Im setting this up, not Gray, cause they don't like celebrating themselves hahaha
