Support Our Family in Crisis: Urgent Help Needed

I really need some assistance y'all.

So I recently got fired from my job at the top of the year. My wife and I had just got situated with how we should be budgeting. We both liked to just buy things because we never really had anything. We thought we were about to get caught up on rent, having December and half of January before the first, but then they wanted both months together. That was fine until they fired me in the 2nd week of the year. I was sick instantly.

What we had saved pretty much went to finding an extended stay to stay at, but at ~500/week that was her whole paycheck. Car ended up getting repossessed. I had a hard time looking for a job and didn't really have any experience looking since I always got put on by somebody else. When I thought I finally got set up with something to help get back on track, I go through the whole process and start orientation and have to get pulled out on the second day since my license was expired. Definitely my fault. When I got in at my last job I was already in the system from a previous time frame so I hadn't thought about renewing as a priority. Pretty much just going to work and coming home everyday, and running errands when needed.

I originally wanted to renew on my birthday kuz the original issue date was on my birthday but I had a failure to appear case from a ticket from the pandemic so I couldn't do it online. Some expense I don't remember came up and the extra money that I could have used to pay that off was gone. It's embarrassing but I would think about it occasionally and eventually forget again.

Here we are now. I went and got a new regular ID, got back in contact with HR at the place I started orientation at (Sysco), and they're working on putting me back in the system. We're thinking everything will be fine since the motel people came down about 25% over the time we've been here which had made it much more manageable. And today Wifey comes home and tells me she spoke to the front desk about the next week payment and they say they've been making changes (we've noticed new staff faces recently) with that, changed the payment process and price to back right the fuck at where it was when we came over here. No notice, but I assume it's written somewhere that they can change prices whenever they feel.

We don't have anything to put towards such an increase in price. We don't have anywhere to go. We have 3 cats and I don't want to part with them even though one is a complete asshole only to me. I already took out whatever loans I could just so we could have food and gas before the car got repo'd. Pretty sure my credit is completely burnt by now.

We really don't want to be homeless. If you all could pitch in whatever you feel comfortable with we would be very grateful. I know it's a lot but 5-600 altogether might have us good til Sysco get me all the way back on the clock.
