Help Jessie Get to Texas!

I really hate having to do this, but I got in a bind fast today. My water bill was almost $300 for my place in Texas and apparently, I'm leaking roughly 330 gallons a day there. I have someone check on the place and there isn't any obvious damage anywhere, but I need to get down there and check it out and get a plumber in there (if I can't fix whatever it is). Most of what I need money for is travel expenses. I'll probably drive, as my car is due for inspection and registration and I still have it registered in Texas. With gas at $4.50 a gallon, I'm estimating about $600 just for gas round trip. I'll also have lost wages as the contract I'm on doesn't have any paid time off.

ANY help I can get will be greatly appreciated. <3
