Help widower save home after losing everything

Hi everyone, my dad and I have been struggling extremely hard for a year, after my mom died burying us in debt, then my cat got very sick and died.
In summary: I’m an lgbtq person with multiple medical issues, including cptsd which has made it extremely hard to get a job as I cannot drive at all. I was my mother’s caretaker for the pandemic until we lost her.
All these issues have left us high and dry. I don’t have any of my medicines anymore trying to get the bills ahead: no one is helping us since my father is employed, but he’s 67 and works for the post office. (Who do stuff like force him off on holidays so he can’t get ahead in his pay).
Our house payment needs help catching up, as well as our electric bill. The expenses of a broken down car, the loss of our beloved family cat and the still looming issues from my mom (his wife dying) without any life insurance after spending almost all of 2022 in the hospital, has depleted us.
Please help us get back on our feet.

For the long version, last September my mom died after spending most of the year in the hospital, with cancer and then Covid. She had no life insurance. The extreme burden of that got us behind in all of our bills. Since my father is 67 years old, but still employed, he can’t get much help. Bankruptcy only helps if we get the bills caught up.
I have ptsd (and cannot drive), after being violently assaulted with a gun and am struggling to find remote from home work to supplement the income.
Right now we are buried under ballooned payments and hardships, as my father also ended up with even less hours at work, not getting holiday pay anymore, and had a car that probably won’t make the winter. We can’t get ahead alone. With help, our lives will be saved. We just need a clean slate.
Once on our feet, we will be able to handle basic bills and stuff. It’s just been so much at once. It seems like every week of 2023 was more bad news. We need to make a balloon payment on our home by December 5th…
My father came to this country and worked his whole life, and seeing all the hardships he’s endured, including racism, poverty, and everything he did to get this far is incredibly inspiring. He lost the love of his life, and their little cat.
Help me keep my promise to my mom. Before she faded the last time and was taken to hospice, she asked me to take care of dad. And she was proud to know I would fix everything. I tried. And I am making progress but it’s not fast enough.
If you read all this, thank you.
