UPDATE: Fully funded, thank you all so much for donating to Grace. Thanks to everyone's generosity we've been able to raise enough to cover her travel & life expenses for this month while she's been out of work. I initially closed the fundraiser, but several people have wanted to donate anyway in case there are further legal fees, etc. You can feel free to reach out to me (Elizabeth) or Grace with questions. So appreciate of this community! Thank you all so much.

As some of you know, Grace found out in the last couple of weeks that she had to leave the country urgently in order to re-apply for a work visa. Happily, she has been able to get a visa and will be back soon! However, this whole process has been both emotionally and financially stressful, as she also hasn't been able to work and earn money while waiting for this decision, so it has been a big financial burden. Her travel includes a $1200 flight and at least a week's worth of lodging in a foreign country. In addition, she has to continue to pay her normal life expenses while being unable to work.

A few people have reached out to the 2nd-year fellows to ask how you can help. One major way would be to help us raise some money to help her out with travel and legal fees. Every little bit helps! Thank you so much for rallying around Grace during this stressful time.
