Help Me Get Coaching For Severe ADHD

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

I’m Mohammed AlBasheer, a freshman with big dreams. But lately, those dreams have felt harder to reach than ever before. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, which finally gave me the clarity I needed. But clarity isn’t a cure, it still affects every part of my life. What I’ve come to realize is that many of my struggles are tied to ADHD. Fortunately, I was recently diagnosed, which finally gave me the clarity I needed. But the reality is, ADHD affects every part of my life. I still hold onto hope that things can improve, but I know I need help to make that a reality.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve asked myself: What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just get it together? I try my best, but no matter how hard I push, I burn out quickly. It often feels like I’m fighting against myself, like there’s a constant struggle inside my mind.

Staying focused is a battle. My thoughts race from one idea to the next, making it nearly impossible to finish a task. Some days it’s just little distractions. Other days, it’s like vivid mental movies hijacking my mind while I’m trying to stay present. I’ll forget why I walked into a room or lose track of what I was saying mid-sentence. It’s exhausting, and it’s been incredibly discouraging at times, but I’m determined to keep pushing forward.

In school, these struggles have followed me for years. No matter how hard I tried, I kept falling behind, especially in subjects like math, which felt nearly impossible for me. Even with tutoring, I couldn’t keep up, which hurt my confidence. I could only succeed with one-on-one support, but when I was left on my own, I kept crashing.

ADHD affects every part of my life, misplacing things, struggling with time management, and feeling restless. I constantly fidget, pace, or feel the urge to move, which makes focusing even harder. Then there’s the emotional rollercoaster, intense highs and lows, and managing my reactions to everything is a challenge in itself.

At the core of all this is deep frustration: I want so greatly to succeed, but it feels like something is always holding me back from reaching my potential.

I’ve tried everything I can on my own, but the truth is—my family doesn’t understand. They dismiss what I’m going through as something else entirely. And without financial help, seeking professional assistance feels impossible. I’ve tried to get a job, but between my symptoms and lack of support, staying on top of anything has been incredibly difficult. I feel humbled to ask for help, but I know this is the step I need to take to move forward.

I’m not asking for $5,000 lightly. The truth is, the one solution that could really make a difference is ADHD coaching, but it’s simply beyond my reach financially right now. A coach could help me develop strategies to stop fighting against my brain and start working with it. With the right guidance, I truly believe I can turn things around, study more effectively, manage my time, and live up to my potential.

Right now, holding down a job, succeeding in school, or even attending Stanford all feel like dreams slipping away. But with the right support, I know these dreams are within reach.

I know $5,000 is a significant amount, and it’s not something I’m asking for lightly. But here’s why that number matters:

ADHD Coaching ~ $4,000 to $5,000

I’m asking for $5,000 to cover the cost of ADHD coaching which are to me financially burdening, which typically runs $200–$400 per month, depending on the service. I need consistent, weekly support to see real results I need. This coaching will provide me with personalized strategies to help me finally work with my ADHD.

Tools for Growth ~ $50 - $150

These include planners, apps, and other resources that can help me stay on track, build routines, and actually start making progress.

I’m not asking because I want to take; I’m asking because I truly want to fight for a better future. Your support, whether it’s a dollar or simply sharing this, helps me craft a future where I can thrive. And right now, I need it more than ever before.

$5,000 is a big number, but it represents something bigger: months of professional support I can’t reach on my own. With this support, I won’t just survive college or work, I’ll finally have the tools to thrive. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to me. You might wonder how something like $20, $10, or even just a dollar could have such an impact. The truth is, it’s not just the money; it’s the act of kindness. That someone, a stranger, took the time to read my story and offer help means more than I can express.

Your support won’t just help me afford coaching, it will give me a real chance to rebuild my life and future with confidence. With your help, my dreams can become a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my message. I appreciate your kindness more than words can express, and I wish you nothing but success as you pursue your own dreams.
