Help please! we're about to lose it all!

Donation protected

I am writing this in hopes of raising some money for my family - essentially to keep us from losing everything. Due to some unforseen circumstances and plain bad luck, I am about to lose my home and my source of income. I have some very high medical bills that I cannot afford but the main thing is that I am self employed and my online shop is my only source of income. For 5 years, it has gone smoothly and provided a steady source of income for me and my family. After my first son was born in June of 2013, I suffered some business losses due to not being able to work for several weeks after his birth. Though I tried, it just wasn't possible right away to be as productive as I was proior to having a baby. Things picked back up and I climbed out of the financial hole I was in, and I was back on track and then I realized I was pregnant again. My second son was born in April of this year and since his birth, I have been unable to steadily work and I am about to lose my shop. It can be found here: amber84.etsy.com.

I have been working as much as I can but with two young boys ages 1 year and 1.5 months, as well as two step-kids, I simply cannot work as much as I need to. I am in the process of getting help with the kids during the day so that I can work again like I need to in order to pay for my bills. 

I am two months behind on rent and I have other bills (water, electric, etc.) to pay as well. My shop will close if I do not refund some customers who have grown tired of waiting for their order to be complete. If my shop closes, I will lose everything and I don't know what to do. I desperately need help and my family and friends aren't able to help... they have finaicial stresses of their own so I understand. If I could get the money to refund these customers so that my shop stays open, I will be able to continue to make money to pay my bills and keep my home. Any amount big or small is much appreciated. I am praying for a miracle because I don't want to put my babies through the stress of not having a place to live. :(
