too hard for some

It's tough that in this day and age people are worked so hard and are way in over their head often times and are black-listed for asking for help. I know a certain someone who is so overloaded by the work that is expected of her. She loves her work. God has called her to it, but she's taken on a great deal more than one person should have to themselves. She's a roughly well organized person, but she's overloaded.
A few others and myself have asked to help her, but she feels she'll be in "trouble" if she gets the help 'cause it'll look like she needs it. She needs to call it delegating and not receiving help. All of us are called to the work as well and would gladly help, but she just doesn't put it through to us.
She's on such tender hooks in the first place with her "boss" 'cause this individual likes things a certain way. And more power to this person. I can't fault them for it. It's a situation that could be dealt with, but it's not. I'm gonna one of these days stick my nose in and hopefully make some help happen, but I'm not sure I should.
I have all the materials to finish a course to be a non-layman pastor and I need to get it done. I am not much of a student on formal terms so it's not been an easy task for me to finish. I love the teaching part and love the sitting in on teachings, but to do the schoolwork isn't as easy for me. At least if it's all on my own.
One day it'll be done and I'll love the position if I ever get one. If I don't it's God's will, but I would love to try. Not that I could do it any better, but I could help this person out with a lot more credibility.
