I'm Hendrik, 18, 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 public health.
I have a 3.7 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 June. 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.

- 1 hour a week

Hope it all works out, Hendrik. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Wudil this morning. Greetings from Wudil.
Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Johannesburg
wishing you peace, Hendrik. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

Thanks for sharing this. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My neighbor in Awka donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Awka.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kasarani.
