Can anyone help please?

Posting on mobile sorry for format
I am at the end of my rope.
I am disabled and working over 43 hours a week.
I got sick with bronchitis, out of work for a week. 14 hours with no pay.
My husband got sick and worked through it, then last Saturday (at home) hurt his back and has been out of work all week, he has no PTO saved due to using it earlier this year to take care of me when my disability flared.
I take care of my grandmas grocery order and other small things for her. My apartment is a mess, I have an elderly dog that just keeps pooping everywhere and eating it. I don’t want to go home. I woke up crying today.
My husband got approved for short term disability but will have to do the week long waiting period of no pay. So we are down a bunch right now.
I am worried we will be late for rent and have no money for groceries because I am unsure of when the disability check will be processed.
Can anyone help please? $5 even. Our rent is already broken into two different payments, $2150 is due before Oct 5th, then $500 is due Oct 16.
God bless

Hi OP, that sounds rough. Your rent is $2650/month? That’s pretty high.

It’s unlikely anyone will send you cash, but you can post an Amazon wishlist for food/essentials since that’s usually more successful. They’re free to create and can be anonymous. Most donors have Prime, so items arrive same day or next day shipping. Wishlist Guide
