Assalamualaikum - Please read with an open heart, we truly need help

Assalamualaikum, I hope you're well. I'm a 25-year-old single woman living with my mother (she's also single) and my younger siblings. One of them is my 20-year-old sister who is divorced and has a one-year-old son. We're going through really hard times right now, and though we keep saying Alhamdulillah, things have gotten desperate. We're facing possible eviction, and our food assistance isn't available this month, which makes everything even tougher. Our bills barely get paid. I'm ashamed to be asking for financial help, but my job and my mother's job don't bring in enough - we're the only ones in our household of five, aside from the baby, contributing income. My nephew is going days without enough to eat. We live in the US. I know going to a local masjid might help, but the nearest one is about an hour away and we don't have gas money. We've tried calling family but most are unable to help or there's too much family drama. We've even had to sell the gold gifts we were given just to survive this far. I wouldn't ask if it weren't necessary. Any small amount would be a great help, wallah. JazakAllahu khair for listening and for any support or dua.

Sending love and duas. If fundraising online is hard, consider local food banks - sometimes they can deliver. I’ll see what contacts I have.

You’re so brave for speaking up. Will make dua and try to share this with my mosque group. Maybe someone could cover a gas card so you can reach help.

Sister, I'm so sorry. I can't donate right now but I'm sharing your post. Praying your situation eases soon, and that you find someone to help with rent.

Assalamualaikum sister, sending dua and a small transfer. If you want, DM me and I can help find nearby charities that might cover rent.

Oh hun, been there. Don't feel ashamed - people care. Praying for you and your family, and I’ll ask my community group if they can help with groceries.
