Well there's cheaper ways to go than by plane. (I admit I also forgot it was a larger family when I was writing that part, so yeah $1200 wouldn't cover that all at once.. at least not by air.) The point is, they are in a bad spot. They need to fix it. This might involve selling everything they own, using the house down payment they've been saving up, and riding a greyhound bus to somewhere cheaper. Of course it's hard. Life is hard. I guess my point is, just because it sucks and it's hard doesn't mean they deserve to get a free pass from the truth of their situation.
