Discounted plane tickets for disabled person?

Hi. I was just curious if there are any airlines that offer discounted plane tickets to people who need to travel across the country to go to medical appointments. My mother is on Social Security and is getting food stamp benefits, and can’t afford plane tickets to fly from Oregon to New York to attend appointments. She is in a clinical study for her Hypoparathyroidism, and it is important that she gets to these appointments, and has already had to skip one due to financial problems. I’d hate to see her miss another. Any advice is appreciated.

Did you ever purchase stand by plane tickets? What was your experience?

By stand-by I mean you know somebody that works for the airline and were able to get discount tickets and are put on a stand by list. If so how much did you end up paying if you don’t mind me asking. I ended up paying $200 for tickets that were suppose to be discounted and which is what we woud have paid for regular tickets the bad part about it is we ended up missing two days of our vacation and we were bumped to the bottom of the list every time we were not able to get on a flight. So basically I am saying that I would never ever do that again. Did anyone else have a bad experience with discount tickets?
