I'm Karin, 19, in Grade 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 psychology.
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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- effort
- 1 hour a week

Sending strength, Karin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

shared this with my family. We're a small family in Ibadan but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from São Paulo.
Keep going, Karin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Pune
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Johannesburg.

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Johannesburg.
