I'm Neil, 19, 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 architecture. 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 December. 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Thanks for sharing this, Neil. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings

      Thanks for sharing this, Neil. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together

        Hang in there, Neil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.

          best of luck, Neil. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Amsterdam donated after I showed her your page.

            This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Belo Horizonte.
