Have I any hope...?

[bashy]

Hi all. Wonder if the vets like 25 can help.
As you know my FIL is Ill at the moment. WAW hasn't been in contact until today as he is getting home today but it's in a new house 20 miles from previous as they had to sell due to debt. Anyway, WAW has been stressed running about organising stuff for him and has said she feels guilty as D hasn't been getting her attention.
Soooo, should I offer to stay in her house all next week to help mind D while she does this. Only thing is that my travel to work at night would now become a 50 mile round trip instead of normal 5 miles. I don't have cash for petrol so would need her to pay my fuel to go to work at night.
Should I offer but ask for help with money until pay day next week or continue to just offer moral support? Any help would be appreciated.
