We need help with paying bills, my son's meds and food

I've been living on my own in my own home since 2019. I just recently realized I can't afford to live on my own anymore because of the cost of living and I got a tenant in my home.

This tenant stopped paying me rent and made my life a nightmare. I now have a restraining order on him and I'm hoping tomorrow I will be able to have a permanent restraining order on him for my children and myself.

I have fallen on very hard times and no matter what I do I just can't get ahead right now and instead I keep falling further behind financially.

I really dislike asking people for help. That is not the person I am. I go out of my way to help other people when they are down on their luck.

If anyone has a few extra dollars to throw my way I would greatly appreciate it. I have $5 right now available in my bank account and $8 in cash. This has to last me until Friday when I get paid again.
