I'm past on rent.

I fell into this hole because we don't make much money, my wife makes comission off of her job, and she had the flu for awhile and couldn't work too much. Now I have the flu, but anyways that's besides the point. I am on disability for schizoaffective disorder, and I make just enough to pay rent, her job makes enough to pay the bills, usually..

Now, I know some of you are thinking 'why did you pay for internet access over food!' .. well, her job relies on it, a spreadsheet and paper/printer ink, some of which I have to take out money of my check to get those two when I get paid tomorrow.

We've been lately contacting charities, churches, all that we can think of and what 411 recommends, and we just aren't getting there.

I'm asking advice on what to do, as I already live in Austin MHMR housing, where only if you have a mental disability you can live here, and yes I have contacted them on any help, and if I don't hit our $500/mo we're out of luck. I'm afraid if I get kicked out of here me and my wife will be on the streets.

Anyone advice?

Thanks for your time. If you want more detail of my problem if it'd help you advise me, please PM me.
