Question

Yesterday I drove my grandmother, who is dependent on nursing care, home, and on the way she asked to stop in Ariel at a Russian store to buy things that aren’t available in her town, such as shrimp and pork, heaven forbid.
I drove her there for several reasons. First, this is not like handing a cup of wine to a nazirite, because there he believes, thank God, and only at a moment of difficulty wants to commit a transgression, so you should not help him. But here, she simply does not believe, and like in the discussion at the beginning of the chapter Kelal Gadol, this is one ongoing transgression, and I don’t know how much each additional gram of meat matters. (Although if you look at the meta-level of what the transgression affects, then maybe it really does matter; only regarding “do not place a stumbling block,” perhaps this argument is valid.) Second, if I had not bought it, it would have created antagonism on her part, especially since this was her opportunity to buy things that are not available in her town, and she will now be at home for a week, so it was critical for her.
Afterward another question came up: whether I was allowed to enter a non-kosher store and push her shopping cart and help her. I resolved that simply on the grounds that the prohibition against entering a store that sells meat from carcasses applied in a reality where there was no way to distinguish between the pieces of meat themselves, and so people would rely on the fact that you went in there. But here, where the whole store, Heaven protect us… that concern does not exist. And as for appearances, things are as they are: people can clearly see that I am going in with my grandmother, who needs nursing care, and not for myself.
 
May our Rabbi instruct us, and may his reward be doubled from Heaven.
