My husband and I are preparing for a big move from San Jose, California to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania so I can begin my master's program at the University of Pittsburgh. This is an exciting new chapter for us, but it comes with a lot of challenges and expenses. We're raising funds to help cover the costs of our cross-country roadtrip and the many moving expenses that come with relocating to a new city.

The funds will help us pay for gas on the road, a much-needed car tune-up, motels between stops, hiring movers to transport our belongings, and a deposit and new furniture for our new home in Pittsburgh. These costs add up quickly, and your support will help us make this transition smoothly and focus on starting my studies without overwhelming financial stress.

I'm excited to return to research and study computational biomedicine, which will help me continue my career as a computational biologist. San Jose has been very expensive, so we're hoping the move to Pittsburgh will relieve a lot of financial stress for both me and my husband. Any support you can offer means so much to us as we take this leap and start a new chapter together.
