Help with homelessness.

Hi all. My husband and I took our kids and moved to San Diego for a fresh start. I have a friend who offered to let us stay while we looked for a place, but circumstances have changed and that is no longer an option
I am so scared. We are broke. Between several car repairs unexpectedly and ridicilous gas prices, we have exhausted our savings. Iwe are both looking for work, ive sent my resume to every place i can think of it seems. We've been looking for shelters, but they are all full or on a wait list. We've applied for assistance, but it takes up to 30 days. I literally have $3 in my purse right now and nowhere to go. I need help. I need prayers. My son is supposed to start school on Monday and we haven't been able to get supplies yet. My heart is broken, I am a failure of a mom to let this happen. I know everyone is struggling and we are not special, but I am praying that someone can help or even give ideas or prayers for my sweet kids. They deserve better than this and im trying so hard. We have found furnished places that rent by the week, but they are $300 and we just don't have it. Thank you for reading.

I know you have already been looking, but just a few options I ran across in case you have seen these: http://www.sandiego.gov/homeless-services/programs/shelter.shtml

I hope you find your heroes. I know this is a bad situation, but don't be so down on yourself. Your kids still have their parents, and kids are very resilient. This is much harder on you than it is on them.
