If you're on the road and can live without the heater just bypass it. You can do that your self or have any shop do it for cheap. Even a tire shop or something like that can do it.

Just be sure you don't run it dry. Even if it's not overheating yet. Also, don't run it with just water for any length of time. If you do you'll end up killing the water pump and other parts. The coolant does more than cool and prevent freezing. It lubricates and prevents corrosion.
