Trying to make it home to Ohio

Hello everyone, I posted on here last month about trying to make it back home to Ohio. My mother is ill and needs my help. I found out today that my little sister (who only has one kidney due to cancer last December), is having problems with her remaining kidney. They need to test me to see if I am a possible donor match. My sister is only 2 years old and has 2 children. My car is out of commission right now, last month I put about $1000 into it replacing the cooling system. Now my fuel injector has gone out. We need help fixing my car and making it home to Ohio. We currently live in New Orleans. Anything will help us at this point. I just don't know where else to turn and because of the hurricane, I've only made about $300 this month, my work flooded and the power was out for over 2 weeks.

well I have done some research and it would actually be cheaper to tow my car than to fix it. It's going to cost us about $1500 in uhaul rental and gas to get home. But I'm pretty sure my kids aren't going to make it through a 15-17 hour drive in one sitting. For now I still have my job (not sure how much longer because of my car situation).
