To hear about such people seems almost unreal. We're so used to ulterior motives for almost everything someone does that's good, that it's become natural to view such kindness with skepticism. But I know it exists. I know a couple (no children) around my age who are similar but without those sort of resources. When someone thanked them for helping one time, expressing appreciation for all the trouble they'd gone to, the husband said in all seriousness "but it's wasn't a bother at all - it was an honour to do this." And you KNOW he meant it. I'm glad you've found such people, Gabbi.
