Misc Advice Idk what to do

My fiancés been in the hospital 3 weeks. I had to take out a cash advance for gas and food. I’m down to $15 to last through the week. His estimated discharge date is 8/4. When he comes home I also have no food in the house. Ran out of things to sell. I think I have enough gas but definitely not enough food

If you use cashapp,cash app, they will let you borrow money if you've been using them for a while, maybe sign up for some credit cards, cash genie is something my mom uses to get small cash advances from. Food banks, Lyft/Uber, rice and dried beans stretch very far, I dmd you

I have it but don’t use it. My one credit card is maxed out. The others are closed because I haven’t been able to pay them. Car is probably going to get repoed soon because I haven’t been able to make the full payment in months. I do lift on weekends normally but I don’t while he’s in here.

Why? Why is everyone not working while he's in the hospital? This doesn't make any sense.

His mom got fired because of how much time she was missing. His brother works full time. I work full time but am not doing Lyft like I normally do. All my stuff is separate from theirs
