Getting a car from Tallahassee FL to Denver, CO

A lady who works for the same company I do (different location) said her brother has fallen on hard times. She bought a new car and is trying to find a way to get her old car that is in Tallahassee to her brother in Denver. She can't drive it because she can't leave work right now, he recently lost a toe to diabetes and can't afford to get to Florida to drive it home. Suggestions?
 
sell the car local and buy something within practicle distance to brother?
I passed along your suggestion. He actually needs this particular vehicle (Trailblazer) because he has no house and actually needs it to live in.
He's on disability. :-( His sister tells me he puts himself last when it comes to taking care of people.
 
It sounds like the family is doing what they can for this man.
Perhaps its time to seek federal/state/county/city help as well
as non-profit organizations.

Sometimes folks just need a little help.
 
Trailblazers are good vehicles but probably not big enough for living. An older Expedition with a 4.6 could be cheap and roomy. Selling the Trailblazer and Sending money might be a bad idea if the guy is REALLY bad handling money but it gives him options larger than a trailblazer. $20 for a 10x10 tent is also an option for nice weather.

Bro.... Econoline van... part of me wants to buy an Econoline drive it around the country for a year or 2 living out of it.

There is an entire subreddit about living out of a van, some guys are pretty crafty.

Its called "stealth camping", and yes I too have thought about it.
I have actually done some of it.

The idea is normally to build a camper that doesn't look like a camper
so no one knows you are "urban camping". Why waste all that motel /
hotel money? Camp grounds can be pretty costly as well.

"Stealth Camping is the act of secretly camping in a public or private area and then leaving without being detected."
