Question about Barranquilla

I want to find out if my fiance is not being truthful with me. She lives in Soledad outside Barranquilla and she was telling me in a letter that she lacks 600 thousand pesos to be able for her siblings to buy another house. She says that this program to buy the house is government assisted. I mentioned to her in a past letter that here in the United States, are government assisted home buying programs available so I guess my question is, do they have these same types of programs in Barranquilla? Or am I being a sucker if I send her the equivalent of 600 thousand pesos in U.S. dollars. even though we are getting married in August. The money is not the point, I want for her to be honest with me though. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also: even if the request is for real, you're not obliged to help family out because they have less money than you. Think about it. Poor but snappy 0 funny, 0 helpful.

Believe me, if I could earn a good income there, I would prefer to live in Colombia 0 funny, 0 helpful.
