Emergency Trip to the Northwest

My father lives in Washington State and is not doing well physically.  He was diagnosed with cancer and chemotherapy and other recommended treatments did not help.  He continues to receive blood transfusions, but the doctors have not given a good prognosis.  My family would like to go visit him soon, but we simply don't have the funds to go, and can't afford to take time off work.  Any money raised would go towards covering the cost of the trip for my wife and I and our children to see their grandfather, as well as cover wages lost while there.  Any funds raised beyond that will be sent directly to them to help with any expenses they continue to have.  This is an urgent request and we would like to get out there within the next couple months.
