Please we need help to keep our home

I know I usually don't speak on too much about my own personal life and I thought things would've always been okay for me to be able to keep up with that, but as for the past year things have truly just gotten worse and worse and I really need help.
During October of last year, my mother and I would attempt to put our savings into her dream job of owning her own food place, due to her health reasons she was slowly becoming unable to work in the harsh environment of nearly all jobs possible for us, any type of physical labor or exhaustion would permanently hurt her over time, as we put what we had into it and were ready to start and make back the money lost, she'd suddenly need to go in for hip replacement surgery and without any way to avoid it and knowing the consequences of her not doing it as soon as possible, we had to do it, but it meant being unable to follow up on that job for the 2 months to come that she'd spend recovering from the surgery
I needed to stay home and support her for the start of it and eventually would need to multitask my classes and taking care of her until she fully recovered, but those two months with the hole made from the expenses and struggles finding any sort of income would burn through what remaining money we had.
For the months to come we have been attempting to get back on our feet as best as possible but due to the recovery time and how quickly what money we had needed to be spent, whatever money we were able to make from that dream job would all go into itself, groceries, late bills, upcoming bills, rent, services and payment plans, no matter what we did, we have not been able to recover from it.
I focused on getting my diploma over this time and would end up obtaining it earlier this month, yet as time passed by the time I had finally finished school her business would need to be given up on, and we would not hear back from any applications or receive any confirmation on hiring.
The end of the month is approaching and I'm scared, no matter what I do it's still approaching and as I do my best to survive the month and find out if I'll be able to keep a roof over our head, I can't help but feel like maybe it's just me and that maybe what we are experiencing now is the life we are meant to live, even if it is, I want to still try all that I can to make sure it's a life my mother doesn't have to suffer through and that she's able to find some hope that we are able to overcome through this somehow.
I been currently doing all that I can to get any sort of income, applying everywhere I can, offering my graphic design anywhere I can, asking friends if there's anything I can do to work for them, going outside seeing if there's any jobs I can be paid for and just trying to raise money in any way that appears, earlier this week I worked in construction for $100 the day and was happy to be able to raise that much in just one day but after 10 hours of shoveling dirt, rocks and sand in Texas near 100 degrees temperatures, I been barely able to get up and walk, my back hurts, my limbs burn, I spent the entire day after unable to do much to raise money that day due to the physical strain on my body, I needed to get up for an interview and was eventually able to make it in time and I'm hoping to hear from them soon but with the physical pain right now shared between my mother and I, please, I just want to make sure I can keep living, I'm sorry for how sudden this all is I really thought things would be okay, any amount helps I promise.
We just want to make it through this month, it's urgent now with how little time we have and we don't believe we'll be able to make it by ourselves, we don't know what our future will look like but we just want to live to make sure we have a chance at one, if it can be here, through selling graphic design, or directly sent our way, anything will mean everything to us.
Thank you for reading, I hope things do end up okay, whether this is our first meeting or a friend I've hold a bond fondly with for years now, I hope once this is all over I'm able to show my forever gratitude and to be able to make more memories with the people I love the most, and no matter what happens, I am forever grateful for all the ones made so far.
