Welcome to the posting-side of FT, though I wish it were in better circumstances!
Depending on the nature of your family emergency,
this may be relevant.
Also, have you considered trying to change the ticket into a circle ticket (Newark-Tampa-Charlotte-Newark) instead of buying a separate Newark-Tampa-Charlotte one? You'd have to consider the change fee, but it still could work out better overall.
