While OCF wants to help every single person, at times we just cant. This situation greatly bothers me to turn someone away who is so upset.
If this new member would have someone on her end who is able to post on the forum in English then to translate it back to her that would be the ideal solution. So first we will attempt to see if this is an option. I will have someone contact her thru email asking if this is an option.
Plan B... fishmanpa has generously offered his assistance in this matter. Thank you very much, fishmanpa!!! If you would like to help by corresponding thru email to the new member in her language that would be great. If she would have questions, reposting it on the forum translated into English so the OCF members can reply. The next part could get to be time consuming but it all depends on if she has questions or not. She may just need some moral support. If the new member asks questions then you could translate the replies back to her thru email.
