Looking for help to get Dad home

Dear Action Time: I don't know where to turn.

My father, a World War II veteran, is 84 years old and in aVeterans Administration hospital in Buffalo, N. Y. Dad had beenliving alone when he suffered a stroke. Neighbors found him.

Well, I'd like to bring him to Chicago so I can make his lastyears comfortable. But I don't know how to arrange flightreservations for a bedridden person.

Would he need an ambulance to take him to and from the airport?Would he be entitled to any financial help? Dad's only income is aSocial Security check.

Can you please put me in touch with someone who's experienced insuch matters? ANXIOUS, Waukegan

Dear …
