Hmmm...that's a hard one. It's hard to not be selfish and want to be with these children and provide them the things that children need more in life. But personally if the pay will not convenience you then it is a very difficult decision.

I mean you have to sit down and calculate all the money it would involve for you to invest. Like gas back and forth, time, energy, all that. Then do the math and see if you make any sort of investment. If you don't then it's your decision whether you would like to reach out your hand for this family, because it wouldn't be for you.

It's hard to mention to a set of parents what they can do to approve their children's lives. Like some fun time outside, and the exercise that comes along with that. It does sound as if they are trying to do what they feel is right, but money has blinded them to what's more important, sadly.

Maybe you should attempt to get to know them, then suggest a few little ideas and see what they would say.

I really hope this works out for you, and good luck. Let us know how it went.
