It's a very nice (understatement) gesture on their part but do
try to go lightly on yourself about the unworthy/guilt/whateveritis aspect of it.
You're obviously not entirely a stranger to them (best I can tell from the swim stuff) so there IS a certain amount of ... I'll say "earned equity" for lack of a better phrase. You're up at 430a today for cryin' out loud, some graciousness on their part isn't entirely unwarranted here
You're still doing the right thing(s) in a tough situation, and my sense is that you'd have been on board with similar if situations were reversed.
So, yeah, don't let too much of that particular thinking linger too long, m'kay.
