If taking out a loan is what a compassionate heart told them to do, I would not call it foolishness. How much money differentiates compassion and foolishness anyway? Who defines that standard?

The big red flag in this one is that they had to borrow the money. I don’t see it as a wise decision, since they could borrow the money to help real and suffering human beings who are made in the image of God. But that is just my opinion.
And all we are doing here is sharing opinions. I’m not saying they should not be allowed to borrow money, take out a second mortgage, or cash in their entire savings to pay to have a stranger’s dog nursed back to health.
What I’m saying is that according to my sensibilities it is bad stewardship.
And opinions vary. :-)
