But does anyone know if it's safe to breathe compressed air from an
oil free compressor?
Thanks for your input.

In addition to what everyone else mentioned, you might
pick up a used CPAP from Craigslist. My local listing
shows 6 machines available from U$ 200. and less.

$200 is a good price. (Nothing local to me.)

And raise you one:

In schools, we create artificial environments for our children that
they know to be contrived and undeserving of their full attention and
engagement. Without the opportunity to learn through the hands, the
world remains abstract, and distant, and the passions for learning
will not be engaged.
