I need 51 pages translated from Somali to English for a family reunification file. Professional certified translation quotes are around $650, which my family can't afford. If you're bilingual, and especially if you're certified or work in a related field, I'd really appreciate any time you can give. You can work on any portion; even five or ten pages helps. I'll send scans securely through the platform's messaging once we agree. The deadline is November, but earlier is better so there's time for review. I'll happily provide a letter of thanks and a reference. Thanks for being kind about this.

    keep going, Taiga. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

    • You're not alone, Taiga. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

      • Sending good thoughts, Taiga. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Tokyo.

        • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mumbai.

          • Hope things get better soon, Taiga. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

            • wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Jakarta Selatan but we're thinking of you.

                    • Praying for you, Taiga. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.

                            Wishing you peace, Taiga. Hope you get there. Take care.

                            • Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal

                              • keep going, Taiga. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
