I think the two other posters are correct. Though you may feel you "need" the money, the thing you did was done out of kindness, not out of the expectation of payment.

Believe me, money can seriously mess up family relationships. I would drop it and honestly not worry about it. Right at this second, $20,000 may sound like a lot, but it will go very, very fast.

Good luck with this.
