You can always try bartering with him! "Sure I will take you to get that, but first I need some help with xxxxxx" and get some work out of him first lol

You obviously don't know me as I'm a pretty big hard A$$. This guy has lost his wife, job, custody, almost lost his Father all within the last couple of years. That's why this is difficult.

I like the barter thing suggested. If I ask HIM to help me maybe he won't need so much help himself.

That's definitely a high-road approach.

He must find a job, can not always rely on others.

A few years ago that would be easy, these days it is difficult at best to find a job that pays anything.
