    Free 2 Learn
    I have a dream to start a program called "Free 2 Learn". This means everyone has a chance at an education.

    I asked a question a few days ago, asking for help in asking philanthropists for money for college. I really would like to simply network to find others interested in assisting those wanting to make a difference by educating themselves, then being of service to the community.

    That is my goal in university level learning. I plan on working with youth at risk. I would like them to have the same opportunities. I have ADHD, which is quite a challenge at times when it comes to executive functioning--ie, planning ahead, or planning in general. Scholarship websites don't cut it. They are ridiculously long and too complicated.

    All I am aking is for financial help with college, so I can help others as a therapist. I will be starting outreach programs.

    If anyone knows how I can go about this (other than telling you), please respond with ideas.

    Thank you!!

    I am moving this one up too. Sometimes I wonder if anyone really reads this stuff. Please have a look.

    Thank you.

    We read dear, but if we don't have an answer, we simply don't answer. Unfortunately you will not find anyone here at this website who will offer to fund what you are wanting to do.

    While you have some wonderful ideas and definite needs, due to the scams of the internet today, many people are "gun shy," so to speak, about helping people over the internet.

    As a struggling student, mom of 4, and living on my husband's income only, I can relate to your dilemma, but unfortunately no one here is going to dole out money to help us less fortunate people. We have to learn to make it on our own.

    And sometimes we don't answer because you are not going to like the answer, I am sorry if filling out applications for schoarships is too much work, but that is the system we have, and most colleges will do a lot of that work for you, if you have a listed disability.

    And you have been given good advice as to working part time, perhaps a work study program at the school.

    You just sound like you don't want to work with the system we have and want someone to give you the money so you don't have to work harder for it.
