Help Joe's Family Attend Tony's Memorial

Hello all. Unfortunately, we have endured a loss in the family. Joe's father, "Tony," passed away on 26 September. Our family has finally been able to set up a "celebration of life" & graveside service with military honors. Now Joe and I, with our girls, are trying to figure out plans on getting down to Texas for our family. We don't have a reliable form of transportation for that distance at the moment. We are looking into renting a vehicle. But with the cost of that, we barely have money left for food and gas, let alone a place for us to stay. We're trying to either find an RV to rent for cheap or a safe hotel for our family of 4. It pains us to even have to ask for help, especially in these difficult times. Love y'all.
