Help me go see my dad in Texas

I had planned to drive to Austin, Texas on Dec. 22 to see my dad and stepmother for Christmas. I haven't seen them since 2010, we're about 1600 miles apart, Dad's health is not the greatest (he has Parkinson's), and my work hours (and everyone else's) have been severely cut due to lack of business with less than two weeks before the trip. I hate asking for money but there is not much of an alternative. Please help me to make the drive to Austin, Texas to see him. It would mean so much and I would be so grateful. Thank you.
