Ya, the help bot is a little hasty.
There’s not much to do but wait and pray. you’re trying you best to get a job and do what you can. honestly, it’s life. My in-laws are having the same problem and are declaring bankcruptcy (I spelt that wrong). Not a nice thought, but this life is short. And if you believe in God, you know it’s only temporary.

Best I can think of is that you advertise on Craig’s list, do you have craigs list? or a similar site anyway, for work. Temp agency’s also might help. (if you have those over there as well. I’m from canada)

To try and balance out to the oldincome you had, you might need to moonlight for awhile. It won’t be easy, but keep your head up. Worry never helped anyone.

Matthew 6:25ff

Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

It’s probably not much comfort at the moment, but try to keep it in mind. This too shall pass, and you all will come through it alright.

Look for a military contract job in the Middle East.
