You agreed to 2 people for 6 hours for $100 = $8.33/hour + tip + turkey. It doesn't seem generous, but it doesn't seem predatory, either. It's tax free cash to them. Tipping "generously" is a pig in a poke. The turkey isn't insignificant if they can use it. How could they not? It's good food and doesn't have to be eaten right away.

12 hours of yard work doesn't match up with the sponsor's characterization of 12-14 hours of "hard labor."

It sounds like the sponsor family was trying to be protective of the Ukranian couple and cost them what, $120 and a turkey. I don't think they did the Ukranians any favor and they wasted your time. Renigging on an agreement is classless.

If it's not too late, I would say up the offer to include the tip plus turkey. If they say no, move on.
