The only outright request I have ever gotten was just last week - a buddy had a sudden funeral to go to and my miles provided excellent itinieraries which would othersied have set him back $1500. I am certain that in some way shape or form that favor will be returned - in all fairness, I may have already owed it to him.
+1 to you. This is exactly how I feel about my miles. If someone's that close to me and is in a situation like that, I'd be more than happy to help.
