WOW. I’d never have the guts to volunteer for something like that. God bless them, but I hope it’s not necessary. Praying for their rescue.
Indeed. I would like to think I could be heroic in some instances, but diving through flooded, pitch-black, rocky crevices 1/2 mile deep in the earth would really be a test....
My first thought was that the state of their marriages may be a factor in their generosity.

No, you would. If you’re posting here and have that opportunity to help bring these kids out healthy. I have NO DOUBT you would do that. We’re not Democrat Underground here.
But I understand, from a distance, it’s hard to image the sacrifice of these people - to blow off everything in their ‘normal’ lives of seeing patients and making a decent living, in order to live with a bunch of kids you never met. But many of us, if not most, if in that position, would do the same.
