I'm a father of two who has been struggling the past few years with health issues and resulting unemployment. I'm still waiting for disability approval, and I have a very tight monthly budget with no income. In early February, my father passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. He lived in Las Vegas with my mother. There is going to be a celebration of life next month, and I don't know how I'm going to get there. My vehicle needs smog and registration before the trip, and gas to Vegas and back will be at least $500 in my SUV to take me and my sons. I may need to get a room as well; I am not sure yet.

Please share, and I appreciate any contributions.
