in this country people (and their families) are responsible for the problems they get themselves into. This is not a nanny state! if you cant take care of yourself and think it is someone elses responisibility, go somewhere else.
On the other hand, most dominicans are EXTREMELY helpful when thety see people in crisis. In my experience people will bend over backwards to help out, spending a day or two of their own time to care for people in trouble. There are lots of stories like this on the site. Either you were very obnoxious and people didnt want to help you because of that, or they were very helpful and you failed to notice or appreciate it.
