I'm Wekesa, 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 biomedical science.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Nairobi
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Monterrey.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Augsburg
Sending love, Wekesa. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Keep going. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck, Wekesa. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
wishing you the best. Study hard! All the best.
Best of luck, Wekesa. Study hard! We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
thinking of you, Wekesa. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I hope September is when things finally get easier
Hope things get better soon, Wekesa. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
thinking of you and your family, Wekesa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending strength, Wekesa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
