Mario, a taxi driver, is retraining for renewable energy and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over three months.

I have worked as a taxi driver for 6 years, and I'm 40. After a health scare, I decided to move into renewable energy, and I have completed a bootcamp. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Lombardy, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Hang in there, Mario. Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

      everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal!

        Small businesses are the heart of Milan. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Jakarta.

            Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Milan.
