I'm Fang, 19, in my final year of high school. My parents work long hours and didn't go to university, so there's no one at home who can help me understand applications, deadlines or financial aid. I'd like to study economics. I have a distinction average, I volunteer at my mosque and I have a draft of my personal statement. What I need is someone to read my essays, tell me honestly what's weak, and explain how scholarships work. I'm looking for an hour a week until September. We can do it by video from anywhere. My mother will be at home during every call, and the school counselor knows about this request. Thanks for reading. It took me a long time to ask. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Stay strong, Fang. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning

      Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless

        Sending love, Fang. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Mumbai.

          hope it all works out, Fang. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

            Hang in there, Fang. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Durgapur!

              Thinking of you and your family, Fang. I hope things turn around soon
