    Story

    Hi,

    I just completed first part of my degree and now I want to finish my doctorate but I need help. I have some hearing problems in my left ear and also I am dyslexic. Normally disabled students get funds (items brought for them not money) so they can write essays and reports without being marked down due to mistakes.

    I am asking for £320 in order to buy TextHelp, I have version 9 but it is really difficult understand the voice feedback. The university will not pay for the new version and I can't afford to buy the new version myself. So I am asking for your help so I can buy this software which after using the trial it helps so much more and is completely amazing. I can spot mistakes and it helps me produce work that reflects my ability. The current version I have often does not pronoun words correctly so it takes me hours to make sure that all the correct word are the correct word.

    You can find out more about this program by going to: https://www.texthelp.com/en-gb/products/read-and-write-family . It costs £320, since I have a disability I don't have to pay VAT. If can spare a little money and share this with people you know I would be so grateful. I want to become a clinical psychologist and help people, that is all I want to do with my life but I need your help to get there.

    I have struggled with dyslexia all my life until the second year of my undergraduate degree when I studied the topic and then paid to get myself tested. Before that I thought I stupid because I could not spell and I still don't know the alphabet which at the time knocked my self-confidence. If you could spare a little and then share this with your friends and family it would really help me. All I want to do is to help people suffering from mental distress but I need your help so I can get to that point.

    All the money will go towards the software, I have a laptop which will run it. If you could help me I would be so grateful. Any amount is welcome. Thank you,

    Lewis
