I help folks with disabled cars from time to time....and received a jump start only a couple of months ago.

One time I was driving my 66 corvair threw its fan belt off out in the country. It was in front of a big farm. The farmer came out and asked what was up. I told him and he said "follow me". We went into his barn and there, sitting on a couple of concrete blocks was a corvair motor. He took a pair of vise grips and liberated the belt, then helped me put it on my engine, and I was off.
People around here are generally still very generous in these matters.
