Help PJ Get Home To Jersey

My father recently passed away and I'm leaving LA and driving back to New Jersey to be with my mother so she's not alone and to help her get through the loss and with our house and all the affairs that come with the death of my dad, I figure $2,000-$2,500 will get all my financial obligations in Los Angeles to zero, get my car travel ready and afford, gas, food and hotels for the 3,000 mile trip, anything will help, I know a lot of people are as broke as me so if you can help I'd appreciate it and if you can't I'll totally understand, thanks!
