Please, We Need Help One Last Time

Thanks to everyone's help before, we've managed to make it this far. We were homeless last year, but thanks to prior campaigns we managed to find a home, at least somewhere we're safe. We're still in our houseshare, we've gotten approved for foodstamps and insurance, and I've finally got all of my paperwork in order to go and get new identification and start being able to find steady, paying work again.
But... we've taken a long time to get here. Both Ellie and I have been struggling *every day* with mental illness. March's rent is past-due, and I'd need the money to put to the fees for my ID. Our rent's $500 and the fees are... $36 or so, and time's not on our side right now if I'm supposed to earn enough for next month's rent in time, as well.
We are so close, and we wouldn't have ever gotten this far without the help of a few specific online communities, primarily the lovely folks at the Shadowrun forums, and we hate that we're here again, begging, but... I don't know what else I can do at this point.
If anyone happens to know someone in Philly willing to look past the lack of ID and give me a shot, I don't have much retail experience, but I've got a couple years of warehouse labor and PIT operation, and I'd get it to them as soon as I had it.
Please, everything helps. Anything helps.
Thank you,
Caleb Townsend
