Government Shutdown Employee Not Getting Paid

We are proud parents of 3 beautiful daughters. My husband is a veteran and works for the federal government. He is not getting paid due to the Government Shutdown. Some creditors aren’t working with us. It is very hard to fight for what you have worked so hard for all your life. We don’t have enough money to pay our bills. We have no family that can help us. We don’t know what else to do.
