I had to quit my job

To Whom it May Concern:
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say here but I was given these email addresses and told I may be able to get some help.
M significant other and I are in need of any and all help we can get right now.
I had to quit my job as a Recovery Peer Support Specialist (recover coach) close to 2 years ago due to several health issues, both physical and mental. As a result of me quitting my job, our financial situation has become pretty awful. To make things worse of late my S/O works has been very slow. He works as a First Aid/CPR instructor and is paid per class based on the number of students he has.
We lost the condo we had been renting for close to 5 years back in December of last year as we just couldn't keep up with the rent. Since then we have been staying in a single room at an extended stay hotel. We are at a point where we are no longer going to be able to even stay here unless some kind of financial miracle happens for us.
I just had surgery a week ago that will hopefully bring me closer to getting back to work, but we aren't there yet.
This is where we stand, as of right now we literally have $4 and some change. I am receiving SNAP benefit and I will get this month’s benefits tomorrow, thank God. But honestly it gives us about $25 a week for food and does not allow for anything other than food, like personal need such as toiletries.
We pay to stay here at the hotel on a weekly basis and we will have to pay for the next week on Thursday. My S/O gets paid the same day. Even using his entire pay we will only be able to secure 4 days here. That leaves nothing for gas to get my S/O to and from his classes or any sundries we may need.
On top of all of this my daughter just returned from school in NY and has not gotten herself established yet. I know she is 22 and an "adult" but I would be lying if I said she doesn't need our help. Help we cannot give her right now. Thankfully she is able to stay with a friend for now and she is diligently seeking a job so hopefully she will have bit better off soon.
All that being said I think it's pretty clear that we are beyond desperate since I quit my job. I don't know if there is anything you might be able to do to help relieve is even a little bit, but I have to take the chance and ask.
Regardless of whether there is anything you can do for us or not, I appreciate you taking the time to read this email.
Thank you and God bless.
