How charitable are we?

I've seen mention on here before of people saying that communities should come together to help those in need, rather than through taxes, wealth distribution, welfare, etc. From the outside, a statement like that about communities helping, is a lot easier said than done. However, I don't think anyone on here is blowing any smoke. I think that we will be blown away to find out just what kind, and how much help the members here provide for others. What you post is up to you, but let's hear some of the ways you help others. I'll start.

We're the only ones in our family who pay for babysitting. $125 every two weeks. I pay for someone else's home owners insurance, or else there would be none. That is $70 a month. On top of that we get occasional tanks of gas, family meals, medical bills and prescriptions, and more recently are covering missing income from time taken off of work; once we even lent a credit card for a month (NOT recommended). We pay easily over $5,000 a year directly out of our bank account to help with people in our family.

How about you?
