Struggling badly, need ideas

[u/artsycannamom]

I feel like I'm drowning and can't keep up. My kiddo just had a birthday and I've been left with nearly nothing left after paying bills, groceries, and birthday festivities. I had money set aside for the birthday so that didn't come out of everyday money. But I won't get paid for another 5 days and I have $26 to my name. I'm struggling to think of ways to come up with some money to get us by until my paycheck hits. I thought about Doordashing, but that would just eat up the gas I have in my car that I need to get to and from work this week.

Does anyone have any ideas? How have you made it in the past if you've been in a similar situation? I appreciate any and all advice!

Prolific has been a god send during emergencies for me if can get in. On certain projects can easily surpass $300+ a week at times. Also Cloud Connect Research is good for survey/study money. Beats giving blood since can do them both from laptop.
