I am getting desperate

So my teenager is newly-ish (as of october) disabled. This includes using a wheelchair, using arm crutches and using a walker depending on how he is feeling. Medical devices have been expensive and the wheelchair insurance had covered was broken, they didn't want to send a new one out.

On top of all this, he has multiple appointments every week, from regular therapy, to physical therapy to appointments with a pain rehab specialist. We live in southern California where gas is sitting at close to $6 a gallon. All the medical expenses, as well as all the gas out put has really put me in a bad spot.

I am currently looking for a job, or 2 part time but right now I just help friends where I can for money. Right now I don't have anything incoming for another 10 days. I don't have the option to do deliveries as I do not have a car, or I would be doing that all day. I drive my moms for appointments, but I have to pay to replace the gas which is fully understandable. I am almost out of gas and he has appointments almost every day next week. I feel bad asking for so much but I am looking for $75-100 to get us through for gas until I get some more money in my hands. It costs about 75 for a full tank, which lasts us anywhere from a week to 10 days.
