I had a son with a brain tumour. Living with this alone was a strain beyond anyones belief and if I had to cope with that in a city away from friends and family it would have been unbearable. We live in NZ. Not a third world country. On a day when the government has written out a cheque for $1.5B to SCF we shouldn't be even asking this question.

They are not little one horse towns where you expect to travel to a major centre.
