I'm Toàn, 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 public health. I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at the local library 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Dresden.

    • Leah Barrett

      Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Oakland but we're thinking of you. Blessings

        Sending love, Toàn. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Taylor F. Burke

          gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings

            Thinking of you, Toàn. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
