Any time, any amount, any reason. Family is more important than money. They've helped me out in the past and vice-versa. We take care of each other. Nobody has ever abused it or given anyone reason to doubt the integrity of other parties involved.

If someone was a raving alcoholic or drug addict, the rule might be different (as an example).

EDIT: Give money, yes - co-sign a loan, no way.
