I'm Farah, 17, 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 public health.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

- 1 hour a week

Thinking of you, Farah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care.
hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Ibadan but we're thinking of you. Love from Ibadan
Keep going, Farah. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Heliopolis
Praying for you, Farah. Your post was clear and honest. After 29 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Put this on a community board in Shinjuku this morning.
