Tried to help someone out. Had it blow up in my face. Lost $200.00.

As many of you know, yesterday was the day when my friend was supposed to be coming here from Tennessee. He has low vision which is not that big of a deal on the disability spectrum. I tried to arrange for him to have meeters at every major layover but my Atlanta meeter got sick and was under doctor's orders not to leave her house. He freaked out in Atlanta because he lost his ticket and called his mom who came to get him. Logically, he should have called me. I was his (as we call it) "operator". If anything goes wrong, you call the operator. I would have simply re-bought him a ticket. I'd have been pissed but I'd have done it. So now he's back home and realizing that all his parents promises about life being different are exactly (in my opinion based on my observations this afternoon) a bunch of lies. I have a feeling that pretty soon he's going say get me out of here. I don't know if I'm prepared to drop him another $200.00 to have him freak out again. If he does it twice, I'm done. At least, that's what I say now. But, then again, I'm not to good at being done with things I should be done with. I've been done with my ex on 17 separate occasions and that hasn't stuck yet. What would you all do? Would you help again? I really need some advice here.
