        Since you know your brother is under stress himself, it might help to let him know that you're aware of inconvenience to him and that you truly appreciate his helping you at this time. And that you hope to be of assistance to him in his need.
You don't have to grovel. You are a most decent person and a person of value.

We benefit from your presence among us.
Stay strong.  Stay well.
