Just a kid chasing a dream ...

Sure, I like this part:
The family of Abby Sunderland will not be reimbursing Australia for the
$300,000 cost of finding her in the middle of the treacherous Indian
Ocean. In fact, Abby's mother suggested American taxpayers should foot
the bill.
"We're not wealthy people," MaryAnne Sunderland said.

The Australians haven't _asked_ them for reimbursement and have stated
that they do not intend to, so why should they reimburse the Australians?
