Sorry for the late response, Elizabeth had younger siblings that needed to be taken care of. It was obvious she wouldn't be able to take care of them so she offered herself. Infact her father was insistent on going himself but even he knew it wasn't logical for the future of the young ones. Hope that answers your question.
