Hey - donations could be forthcoming, but like I said above - PICS would help!

Just be clear. I'm not asking for donations guys... That's already covered.

Very kind offer and nice place dewolf!

Aus is on our short list of travels once we slay this pandemic, and if we go I may ping you to see if a rental is available for paying tenants. We like to have a home base and then jump off to adventures from there.

To the OP, my spidey sense is suggesting to assist this gal with caution. Sounds like she may rate very high on the hot/crazy matrix and they often leave a wide trail of destruction. I married a hot German girl once.

Suspicious GF might be down for the 3 way....

In all seriousness. Even a hot mom with a sped kid is a hard pill to swallow for a late blooming bacholer... Might be better to move back to DE where the social programs might be an advantage especially if the kiddo is low functioning and she doesn't want to award to the system...

Wouldn't take your money. If your this way, let me know I'll organise a place for you. You can also use one of my cars while your here as well.

Some people just need a hand. It's not charity....it's genuine help. I think in this respect Aussies and Americans are the same.

Yeah, I don't think so. Help somebody in the US and it gets on the evening news along with the convenience store holdups and domestic violence arrests. Most people don't actually think it as anything to do with them.

Not the same but I remember some years a go a little girl fell down a well in the US.

Massive effort and a lot of people worked really hard to save her! I think they made a movie about it.

I agree with both of these. And they are even connected: Single mom with special need kid will be best off back home. Of course, that wide trail of destruction may play a role why she wanted to leave the continent in the first place.

Ah I forgot of the peaceful visitors. Three years would give a culture shock for sure.

Very kind indeed. We are looking at 2022 for a possible trip, depending on if this thing clears out next year. Aus and NZ are a must visit.

Are we allowed to place bets as to the final outcome?
