Hard times have hit; please help

I hate asking anyone for help, ever. Unfortunately, I'm in a position to have to. I lost my survivor benefits in August because my son turned 16, and my finances have been precarious at best ever since. I only made $22 in royalties last month, and I'm falling desperately behind in my bills. I've never fallen behind in my bills before, and as it stands Idk how I'm going to pay them this month, let alone get my son a Halloween costume. Please help me keep food on the table and the lights on as we head into the holiday season. I'm so sorry to have to ask, but I'd be so very grateful if you could help. Thank you.
