Furloughed While on Maternity Leave

I have never done anything like this before and am not one to ask for help, but here goes.
The government shutdown has hit home. I just gave birth to beautiful twin girls and have been on maternity leave. I got the phone call last week that as of 10/7/13 my job has been furloughed until further notice all because I am out on leave. If I were not on maternity leave, I would still be reporting to work. I no longer have a paycheck coming in due to the shutdown. I am the "bread winner" in our home. I have 3 children to feed and a roof to keep over our heads. I don't know where to go from here. Please, if there is any way you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

*****UPDATE*****

The furlough is over and people are back to work. I will finally have a check again begining next week. The unfortunate thing is that I (and all of my furloughed coworkers) won't see much of the check because of the deductions, such as continued insurance coverage, that will be made before they pay me (us). Thank you to everyone who has shared this and/or made a donation.
