It's called "community".
We "do" for one other in our neighborhood...rides, shopping, when needed, checking up on frail seniors.
Mr/ Dixie does minor repairs, the family across the street has "adopted" an elderly widow a couple houses up and the kids do her yard work,
etc. (free). I have given rides and gotten rides for medical appts when needed.
Another blessing of small town life.
