Help keep my kids from being homeless: I have two kids!

I'm a single mom struggling to support two kids. I only am offered part time hours at my job and I receive no child support from my children's father. I tried to take him to court for child support 6 months after he left us, but he was a no show. Since then I've been advised by social workers, lawyers and friends to stop trying to file. My ex now lives in Philadelphia where I have been advised he'll never be arrested for child support

My ex has even stolen tax money from me in the past, claiming the kids as dependents even though he hadn't seen them in over 5 years

I recently passed my Cosmetologist reinstatement exam. I was a hairdresser for a few years but I ex husband convinced and refused to let me renew my license, so it lapsed and I've been underwent the reinstatement process. I also was working one day a week and for fill in shifts at a private owned buisness to help make any money I can. My fiance also worked at the shop as the manager. I was the assistant manager

However, two weeks ago we walked into work and were told the place was under new management and we were being let go. The old owner told us he did all he could to keep us on board but the new owners insisted on new people.

I have been looking for a better paying job then the one I currently have for almost a year now. My main job is an All Star at MOD pizza and my location cant offer me the hours I need to sustain my living situation. Since, we have lost our jobs we have been actively looking for work. I've been applying for at least 3 jobs a day off of indeed and calling up salons who are hiring receptionists.

I currently dont have a car at the moment and live in a two-bedroom. I already have told my kids we might have to give our cat up for adoption, which is heartbreaking to do because that's their only pet.

I'm asking for donations to keep my family afloat during this rough time. I have a 13-year-old boy who has high functioning autism and an 11-year-old girl. I myself am also on the spectrum. This apartment is the only home they have ever known. I'm just asking for 2 months worth of rent so that will buy us some time. Since my fiance lost his job two weeks ago and I cant afford this place on my current salary money is tight. I wake up with almost a panic attack every morning over our financial situation and apply to jobs like crazy.
