Homeless family in desperate need of help

Donation protected
Hello my name is Dustin. Me and my partner are currently homeless, we lost our house during COVID-19. She is currently pregnant due in December, we have a one year old, and I have our 2 dogs in the swamp with me... -thriving living their best lives- they love the freedom. I'm terrified of our family being broken up due to intense variables and i would do anything to keep us together. Thank you for your time and compassion.

   When COVID happened the guy I was working for took the grants for small businesses, cheated on his wife and disappeared. He owed me three weeks of work and my landlord was not willing to work with me. Since then Ive been finding work and working as hard as possible to try to find housing for my family with no luck. I got a job at a hotel and we were good for a littl while but it got shut down. She went to stay with a family member and I bought a tent and went to the woods with our dogs which is where I currently reside. I worked fencing for the last 2 years for subcontractors who don't want to pay for the work after they get paid and blow all their money on Starbucks and toys. I've never asked for help I'm a very hard worker and work hard for every dollar I've ever made. I don't take hand outs but I need to put my pride aside and now I'm begging for any help I can receive to keep my family together.
   We have two beautiful dogs and I've been in the woods with them for two years going to work every day working as hard as I can but with rent going up so much it's hard to save up first month last month and deposit. Plus all my jobs are under the table so I don't have proof of income. If we could at least get enough for a hotel for a while and I could shower I'd work two even three jobs to maintain it we just need some help getting on our feet and getting started. But my number one priority is finding a safe environment even if I have to stay out here longer. I'm a survivor and I'm not asking for any help to be comfortable. Humans evolved to survive for comfort animals survive to ensure their DNA exist in reality as long as possible. I don't survive for comfort and I don't need any more help being comfortable. I got donated a bicycle last week and that's all I personally need to keep making my own moves. While I am asking for help I am finding work and donating to my own cause as well. Sometimes people need help getting on their feet and that's all I'm asking for. I know every dollar that has been donated has been worked hard for and I don't work any less hard I promise. I was searching for hope and ive responded to so many people positive and negative and it's all been a source of how for me and I'm thankful.
   We are extremely grateful for any help we receive. Please share this with anybody willing to help. I can't fathom losing our children she's an amazing mother. If you ever met our dogs you'd understand how much love she gives into teaching and she doesn't deserve what she's going though. 

We really are so close to being able to get a place. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
