Listen to what Cash said! Now would be a great time to get a lot closer to your distant sibling. As has been previously suggested why don't you and your two kids pay him a visit and offer to help "fix" his place up? We are all DIYers here for the most part so it would be a great family project...getting the kids involved in helping their uncle would be the best way to repay him for his kindness at this time!
