I'm Owen, 18, 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 biomedical science.
I have a top-of-class 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 October. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Owen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Owen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
