I am pleased to report that, at every disaster I've ever responded to, I've found plenty of people like you, your grandfather, and his pharmacist friend, pitching in, helping out, and doing whatever needed doing. Often, these people were elderly, poor or working class, and also had suffered the loss of their own homes, jobs, etc. Typically, they viewed their exertions as nothing out of the ordinary.
