Family Financial Crisis

My family has incurred a medical emergency that has affected our family finances.  My childrens father, who contributes to my monthly finances, has had emergency open heart quadruple bypass surgery last week and is without income to support us for 6 months. He has no paid leave of any kind. He is not  able to return to work fully for 6 months.
Our savings have been depleted due to my medical issues including cancer, c-spine surgery and most recently an aortic aneuysm due to stress and lumbar fusion surgery. I work full-time but cannot take on extra work as I am post -op 7 weeks from the back surgery.
I work at a local church in the faith formation office and have for 14 years. Ministry is my passion , I have worked in this field of faith my entire life and I love my job. However, my income in the non-profit sector isn't enough to even pay our rent. I am very concerned the kids and I will have to move to a family shelter.
I am desperately in need of financial help to help ensure we can stay in our home and that I can pay the basics, rent, food and utilities for the next 6 months.
I never thought I would end up in this situation and have to ask for help. I have the most precious children, my oldest is older and on her own but in the photo.
If my situation touched you in any way please consider contributing, any amount is appreciated more than you can ever know.  If you cannot help financially please say a prayer for us.
Thank you,
Peace, Alice
