My uncle and Godfather received Last Rites from a Maronite priest when my aunt searched high and low for a priest from her own (Roman rite) parish and diocese.  Literally nobody would come and he was dying.  He was requesting a priest whenever he was lucid.  A neighbor from a few blocks away came over with a few pieces of mail inadvertently sent to his home, (last names were similar and they had similar street addresses). She and her husband were from Lebanon and went to a small Maronite Church that got going in the mid-1980’s.  The priest was more than willing.  My uncle went to confession, received Communion, fell asleep and died that night in his sleep. 
Blessed be God!

What masses do you have access to now?

Did they at least tell you why none would come?

Here in Wisconsin I've been going to an SSPX chapel 35 minutes away for two years. This weekend me and my son are going to check out St. George Melkite Byzantine Church in Milwaukee on our way to have a boy's day. Otherwise, everything else, including two sede chapels and Byzantine churches are over 2 hours.

In North Carolina, its a wasteland, truly. Nearest SSPX chapels are close to two hours from where we will be looking to live. A Byzantine church anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour 1/2, depending on where we get a house; and then the one sede chapel you suggested would be 4 1/2 hours. The Maronite Church would remain within 20 minutes to an hour, again, depending on where we get a house.

Why on earth would you move from Wisconsin to the NC?? Idk why anybody would move to the Coasts if they had a choice, discounting Alaska, of course.
