These folks probably feel useless, ashamed and angry with themselves for being in the position they are in, so they project these feelings onto their helpers because they know deep down that they themselves wouldn't help out others if situation was reversed ... it's probably just guilt ...
Explain that you're willing to help when and how you can, BUT , also explain that you don't owe them anything and if their attitude doesn't change, then you'll have to back off and go back to doing more rewarding things with your time ... life's too short to waste on unrewarding tasks ... a simple "thanks for caring" goes a long way for me
