Just my humble opinion... but as long as they've got food to eat and raiment to wear (and all the other variables are addressed, love, acceptance, education, no severe beatings, etc) NO CHILD is truly suffering.
We as parents look back at our own "deprivations" as being "unjust" and vow that such injustices will never visit our own children. But then by the time they're old enough to be running through the yard the kids are finding out just how unfair everything really is. There's no way to compensate for that. Life is unfair. Love your kids and do the best you can for them. Denying your own calling or convictions will not always bring a shiney new bike or the latest game console. You brought those urchins into a world of sin and despair- now do your best to bring them hope. Or better yet, try to show them how they can create some hope for themselves.
Most importantly encourage them to learn how to learn for themselves. Encourage them to read and in their schoolwork. Make them understand that education is important. Education is the way to advance up the social ladders in most societies. Then maybe they'll be able to provide a home for you when you are old where the orderlies don't beat the inmates.
