I'm Matilde, 16, in Year 12. 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 civil engineering. I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 July. 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Hope things get better soon, Matilde. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

      Sending strength, Matilde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
