go to a food bank every week for your food until you can pay bills
look up local/county/state/federal freebies and subsidies, the internet at the library is free
if yr in good health ask around if they are hiring for trades/plumbing/electric/construction. they are usually in need and pay cash a lot of the time
cut all expenses to the minimum possible to get by
then start saving a buffer cash of money. Having 10-20 k even is a godsend when life sends you a curveball
