another few days just doesn't seem much of a solution.
Maybe pitch in and get him home to some family/friends, or resources? IDK, who can any of us really count on? I always wonder.
What does Fritz want, that's the question. Only he can say. If he's sold off all his stuff, his options are few. Flights to Germany are relatively
cheap, it's the off season. Perhaps we all should just buy him a ticket from LA to Frankfurt? At least he can get some state benefits and medical
care. IDK, just tossing out some options. It's his life. Beats begging for rent.
I apologize if my comments came across as less than sympathetic. That's not my intention.

Well, John, your intentions are certainly not clear. And certainly not helpful, unless you truly are interested in what Hubschrabear “wants,” as
a way to help and not as a way kick a fellow human being when he is down.
What the man wants, and needs, are simply human dignity and whatever assistance might be available, having already exhausted all other possible
options. Following this entire thread, I can clearly see that struggle, and can only imagine what it must have cost him to ask for help from
strangers.
Materially, a safe place to live, access to decent internet so that he can make a living, a decent and secure job for Maria...these would get him back
on his feet. Perhaps an angel out there in La Paz is listening/reading this? While I am not capable of providing any of these things, I can be sure
that there is grocery money monthly, and if ramen noodles are the diet so that the landlord can be bought off for a few more days, so be it.
Responding to a strange in need shows our humanity.
Anyone out there who can help, please join me. There for the grace of God, go I, and everyone else who thinks it could never happen to them.

What would that of cost a foreigner in Germany? USA?
