Help a single father with a baby

Hi there, this is Andy and my daughter Pema.  Pema is now 10 months old, when she was born, the mother texted me from the hospital saying she’s giving her up for adoption without consulting me.
I then went through social service and claimed her back.  During the parental assessment I brought up an issue that I’m on zero hour contract teaching violin for local council music program and covid 19 means all of my concerts and gigs are cancelled.
The social workers have been reassuring me that I will get help from the government, but the financial support is based on calculations and seems to ignore the fact that I have no income when there’s no school.
 I’m quite desperate now because all the schools are in the settling period meaning they won’t start music or instrumental lessons until October.  
I always get paid for September at the 
end of October.  With no work in September, there is no pay in October.  Works I do in October will pay at the end of November.  It’s only mid September and I can’tsurvive until the end of November.
In October I will have to start taking my daughter to child minder, and I have to payahead.  I just can’t hold out that long.  

And I have a lot of debt also since lockdown started(from friends and credit card) I am staying at the homeless hostel room so we are ok for accommodation now but universal credit won’t pay me this month because I received self employed grant in August but that’s only £500.
I will be super grateful if you can help.  
I also have been visiting food bank and soif you can contribute to nappy and formula cost, that will be great.
best wishes 
Andy
