I have a friend whose husband is having some serious health care issued and she is fearful of driving on her own with them to other cities in Texas for medical treatment as she is not able to handle any problems that may come up especially with the vehicle.

If he as a disease that has a national organization, contacting them is a good idea as they have volunteer lists and as a big plus have been through whatever the specifics are for that disease. For example, if he has leukemia or other blood diseases, LLS - Leukemia Lymphoma Society has a resource list for just that as they have/do events like Light the Night and LLS Regatta's where they get volunteers from. LLS is divided into regions accross the US.
If he is going to Texas Medical Center in Houston (UTHSC, Baylor, MDAnderson)each hospital has social services that can get you in touch with resources. TMC is primarily folks coming in from outside of Houston so this is nothing new to them. She also should belong to AAA premium for car issues - about $ 100 a yr.
