I would tell the family, to get a loan from a bank if they want to save their boy. Why should other people pay. Begging is trendy nowadays, it seems. Probably the same people complain about east European beggar circles in Western Europe.

Yeh right like expats have 200+ dollars to spend on a helmet when then cannot even afford travel insurance.

Get with the program.

I do not know about this case, but I have met plenty of expats who thought that insurance, or indeed a good helmet, is too expensive whilst seemingly having ample money for other endeavours. I remember numerous conversations with a married, father-of-two, expat about this. A guy who thought nothing of dropping a couple of hundred Dollars on booze and entertainment in an evening but thought insurance unaffordable. When the inevitable happened, a self-inflicted accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down, his parents had to sell their house to pay for the initial hospital bill (this was pre-GoFund Me days).

depends where and how you ride. some helnet test areuseless like drooping a steel spike from 1 metre. at low speedup to 30kmh the cheap helmets can be just as good depending what you hit. At 180kph the cheap hemet will be probably useless.

Even for m y pushbike I prefer to have a little more protection than a 5-Dollar helmet made in Vietnam.

However, I recall reading that apparently the cheap helmets crack open like an eggshell upon decent impact and khmer surgeons having to operate to remove plastic shards from accident victim's heads..

Yeah, but this expat apparently had money to own a business and didn't have 200 dollars for a helmet and insurance? It does not compute!
