Given the mobility constraints have you considered a train trip?
Fly from ERW to MDW on Southwest ($120ish) ----> CTA Orange Line from MDW to vicinity of Chicago Union Station ($2.25)---->Amtrak California Zephyr ($180ish a head for coach seats)-----> free bus connection from Emeryville to SF----> BART to SFO or OAK ($8)---->SFO or OAK to EWR ($150ish).
As a bonus you can hang out in Chicago and/or SF for a day to break things up. Just leave yourself at least a day in SF since the train is usually a number of hours late.
Total travel cost under $500 (not including possible SF hotel) and you get to see a huge part of the country.
