Hi! I need help.
I'm looking for a native English speaker to help me practice for my interview on Wednesday.
I can't pay now because neither my husband nor I have a job. I had to quit a job where they were crushing my soul. My husband can't work because he's in the final stage of sclerosing glomerulonephritis, a chronic and degenerative kidney disease that requires him to undergo dialysis every four hours.
But I promise on my word of honor that if I get the job, I will pay $150 out of my first paycheck.
If you think you can help me pass my interview, and you're willing to lend a hand... I'm eagerly awaiting your response.

🚫 Exclusion is NOT empowerment! Shielding children from the digital world is no substitute for preparing them to navigate it.
