How far as a Leader have you gone to help a Soldier?

When I was a squad leader in the 82nd Airborne Division there was a soldier in another squad who's wife was pregnant and she became preeclampsic. Her blood pressure was spiking and she was having seizures. She had to go into a medically induced coma in order to have an emergency c-section. The baby was dying as soon as she was born.
I'm not sure what the other squad leader, platoon sergeant, or platoon leader had against this guy, but they would not let him go to the hospital and be with his wife and child. Keep in mind that his wife is in a medically induced coma and his premature baby is dying in the hospital. He came to me with tears in his eyes and a cracking voice looking for advice. He explained his situation to me, and I was plumb damn mad. I knew that flying off the handle in an end of day platoon sergeant's would accomplish nothing but putting myself between a rock and a toxic leader. So, I did the only logical thing. I told him to call the hospital and have his wife's doctor put in a Red Cross message. I knew that it would be received by the brigade staff duty and disseminated down to the battalion staff duty. The company 1sg and commander would be informed. When the 1sg got notification of it, he stormed into the PLs office, reamed home out, and stomped over to the platoon office and reamed out the platoon sergeant. I kept the soldier with me that day to assist me with tastings. I got a call from the psg telling me to take the soldier to the 1sg's office immediately. When we got to his office the 1sg said that my platoon sergeant and platoon commander were both lucky he's not going to get the company commander to write them up on a relief for cause and remove them both. He told the soldier to take off and he didn't want to see him for at least 2 weeks.

Ok to specify. You, as a Leader, how far have you gone to help/assist a Soldier under your care?
I'll start. Being in the NG we don't have the assets readily available as AD to assist Soldiers in case of a Red Cross message i.e.: AER, etc. We were 3 days into our AT, and a Red Cross message came down for one of my Soldiers that his father passed away unexpectedly. Red Cross message came. We could get him back to TN (we were at Camp Shelby, MS.). Problem was Soldiers' father lived in Montana, and the funeral was in 2 days. The "mad pass the hat" began to get him a plane ticket out of MS on short notice ($1200.00 plane ticket). I had collected a little over $400.00 within a matter of a couple of hrs, and had a flight time of 0700 the following AM. I put the entire cost of plane ticket on my credit card, and gave him the $400 for incidentals etc.

I was CQ runner and PFC and one of my guys came in and was with his new son that was crying real bad (baby was squeaking cause his throat hurt)-to find out little one had Strep Throat and was fevered, messed on himself, so I threw the soldier MY room key and told him what to get and I helped get him calm. Baby finally fell asleep in my arms when LT came in and saw me with the baby. Luckily another called ATTENTION a few door away so baby didn't wake up and I didn't get trouble. When the SM explained, the LT understood that I was using what some of the others in my unit called "Grandma Perogative' and a few days later- NOT only was the Battery Quarantined cause the little guy gave me and the LT Strep Throat, but I was getting called 'Grandma' by command and everyone asked if i could help with the babies IF they got upset or sick and the parent needed time away,which was fine by me, and the bigger kids stayed close to me IF someone in Command scared them. Talk about feeling special. After that day, LT and everyone called me MOM and the CSM asked if I had grandkids yet (oldest at the time was 16) and treated me like a diamond when he saw me and they even created a cadence for me.
