May I ask why the other folks in the household not contributing to the household budget?

Is this home that you live in owned or rented?

My mother pays almost $2.8k for the mortgage and can’t contribute a lot to this unexpected expense. My family member receives retirement funds and pays for some of the utilities every month. My brother works some hours per week and cannot afford to contribute. (sorry for any weird wording here. I am still building my finance vocab)

They were probably more so asking why you are the only person out of three household incomes to have some sort of emergency fund. Is your brother an adult? What does "works some hours" mean?
