It bothers me to find someone in need of help and not be able to help them.

My Spanish is really rough and though I got the basics of her post, understanding it and speaking it (especially medial terms) are outside my capabilities. Our main site gets hits from 86 different countries or more each month, the Internet is indeed without borders. Our tracking service lists them. We have lots of European visitors but a surprising number of Russians and Middle Easterners. It is quite different there, as I spent part of my youth growing up in Europe, in that English is a mandatory second language class in most countries when they are in the equivalent of our high school. Clearly those that visit our main site have some English capabilities, because it is hardly a rare occurrence to have them on our pages at length in in great numbers (hundreds of thousands)

Unless we have a spanish speaker on the boards there is little we can do here, and even then we have the advice of a singular person helping another� better than nothing, but not the same kind of experience as everyone else has.

There are limitations to who OCF can help, I wish it were not so, but it is a reality. The obligation has to be on others to participate, even in broken English, or we have no means to help them. We also do not well understand the medical services available in their countries, insurances, socialized medicine, and so much more.

We need to let her know of these issues, and our sympathies but lack of ability to seriously be of help.
