Trying to survive

Okay, let me start with that I absolutely hate that I have to even do this (or try to anyway). But it's a last resort opiton and honestly I dont even expect anything from it, but I figured why not...let's just give it shot. I have set the goal pretty high and again I dont expect anything near that, it's just what I set it to. 
Now, let me go into a bit of explaining that I'll try and keep as short as possible. 
So I'm Kiki, I was married to a man for quite some time unhappily. We have a child together and she was basically the glue until I found out what real love was and finally let myself be open with my sexuality. 
I am a lesbian. I kept myself closeted becasue of fear from my family and becasue I had been with this guy basically my whole life and didn't know anything else. I was afraid to leave and to be alone and forgotten. 
I met a wonderful girl. We immediately became best friends then soon realized it was more than a friendship. Shortly, we fell in love. I was still afraid to leave my life and controlling husband but he pushed me away too far and I couldnt take the controlling anymore. I realized that his love wasnt love at all. It was pure control. I found what love is. What true love really is. 
Drama occured; my ex and my girlfriend got into an arguement(brought on by him) it resulted in violence and her being hit. Things are being semi handled in court but we still have a shit ton of crap on our plate. Becasue of him we are losing the house that all of us got together before all of this went down. He left and left us to basically fend for ourselves. She also has a child with no father. Therefore here we are two lesbians and two children with no where to go and little to no money. She is currently working while I stay home with the children. We are both in school aiming towards getting our medical coding licenses in order to provide for our family but we dont have the time to wait until that is finished. We need a place to live now. We are searching and doing everything we can but with money so tight it's hard to even get started. On top of the housing situation, I am still legally married to this man. I have no money to even start a divorce and he is dragging it out as long as he can. But if I had the money(or some of it) to just get it done, then I can start doing what needs to be done so that we can have the life we deserve. 
Therefore, In short, we just need something...anything...to help us get on our feet. That's it. That's all we are asking. We have two kids (3 and 2) to take care of and make sure they are safe and fed. So all we need is just a little help so we can get things moving. Once we have what we need, we will be able to breathe alittle to continue school and work to better ourselves and provide for our little family. 
So please, please anything helps. Any amount, anything will be greatly appreciated.
