Cheap Air Fare to See a Sick Relative: A Tip from Matthew Lesko
Not free, but at least you don't have to pay full price. When a family member is very ill or has died, families have to make last minute airline reservations. Obviously you lose out on the 21-day advance purchase rates, but almost all airlines offer bereavement or compassion fares for domestic travel. Generally the fares are available to close family members, and the discount on the full-fare rate varies from airline to airline. Many require that you provide the name of the deceased and the name, address and phone number of the funeral home handling arrangements. In the case of a medical emergency, the name and address of the affected family member and the name, address and phone number of the attending physician or hospital are required. Contact the airline of your choice to learn more about the "Bereavement/Compassion Fares." Full fare rates vary from airline to airline, but you could save up to 50%.

Discounts On Dental And Vision Care: A Tip from Matthew Lesko
If you live near a university that has a dental or optometry school, then you may be in luck. Many of these schools offer reduced fee services for dental care or vision screening. You will receive treatment from students, but they will be supervised by some of the best people in the field. These schools also often conduct research studies, so you if you qualify, you may be able to receive treatment for free. My eleven-year-old daughter gets glasses, contacts, plus free contact solution for three years, because she is part of a study on nearsightedness in children. Not a bad deal! To locate schools near you, you can contact American Dental Education Association, 1400 K Street, NW, Suite 1100, Washington, DC 20005; 202-289-7201. You can also contact American Optometric Association, 243 N. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63141; 314-991-4100.

The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Lifeline Pilots
http://www.lifelinepilots.org/
Founded in 1981 by Wanda Whitsitt, a Champaign, Illinois, homemaker and Pilot, Lifeline, Inc. operates as LifeLine Pilots, the oldest regional humanitarian air care organization in America. It was Mrs. Whitsitt's vision to provide direct flight assistance to people in distress, a greatly needed and unavailable service at that time. Thus, LifeLine Pilots, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit agency, was born with a mission of providing people in medical and financial distress with access to free air transportation on small (4-6 seat), private aircraft for distant health care and other compelling human needs. Today, this vision is shared by many Volunteer Pilot Organizations throughout the United States and Canada. Focuses on serving the Midwest region.
