I'm sorry you and your family are going thru this.
Even though we both have a job, we have been cutting on our splurges and other things to save more money and to be grateful that we have a job too.
I've been drying my clothes outside hanging them in the back yard ( we have a fenced backyard) I also been cutting on buying starbucks, instead we make coffee at home and we both take it to work we've also been buying generic brand groceries and other products too.
I hope some of these ideas help you.
