Help us stabilize from Vet and auto repair costs

Hello, my name is Mike, and my family and I are having a hard time and could use some help. We've had a string of worse luck after a string of bad luck and now we find ourselves in a bad way.

We had our smallest cat die after struggling with a growth on her neck. We all got very sick with a respiratory infection that kept us from work for over a week. Our work is hinged around our car, and a few weeks ago our serpentine belt slipped from an oil leak in the engine. We were already behind on things and this all pushed us to a point where we can't even break even for the month.

Our rent is now past due. Our utilities are due and there are some shutoff notices coming soon. We've almost capped the credit cards we have covering the car and everything and still haven't covered the last time there were issues.

In the short term we need $1,796 to avoid having things cut off. It would help us by covering rent and utilities and let us avoid late payments. If we meet goal, it would wipe out our accrued debt. We could start fresh after everything and get a head start towards improving our situation. We've been trying to switch careers and sort out medical issues but we literally fall behind with one missed day.

I honestly don't know how best to write this out, this is our situation, and we don't know where else to turn. Every time we think we might have a shot of digging ourselves out we have something that needs time and money we really don't have. Donations and sharing are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for hearing us out.
