I'm Dian, 19, in Form 6. 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 church youth group 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 November. 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.

    Truly grateful for the support

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Great help in a difficult time

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

  • keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Jakarta.

    • Wishing you the best, Dian. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

      • hope things get better soon, Dian. Study hard! Thinking of Jakarta!

        • Stay strong, Dian. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Blessings

          • hope it all works out, Dian. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Valencia but we're thinking of you. Take care

            • Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

              • Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless

                • Take care, Dian. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Edmonton.

                  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Kozhikode this morning. God bless.

                      • Stay strong, Dian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

                        • So sorry you're going through this, Dian. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
