A mother's plea for help 😓

I am a mother who lives in a different country than I grew up in. I am married to a local, and we have a beautiful son together. We choose to homeschool. My husband's work is in digital design and art direction; he is a very skillful drawer on paper, but to survive, he needed to make web pages and digital images to get paid. This way we have lived and survived so far, as we chose to homeschool, I gave up on having luxuries, as I did not work the 8 first years of our son's life. Also, due to living in a different country than where I was born and raised, I have no family of my own here, only my husband's family. God bless them for all that they do to help us, and we always managed to get around. Even though it has always been tough economically, we chose being together as a family over luxuries.

Then, as we all know, Artificial Intelligence entered the arena. At first, we did not notice it much; it was more curiosity about how this new tool could be useful. Then, slowly but surely, we noticed that my husband's clients asked more and more about AI, and slowly we received less and less work. This prompted me to start teaching English to the local children where we live, but the money was to pay for our son's activities; I would break my heart if he had to quit, and it covers just that, plus some extra. But it is not nearly enough to pay our rent and bills. We also have an old car, a dog, and two cats.

My husband has now been actively seeking new work for two months, and he is also (mostly) looking for work that is outside his field of expertise in design and visuals. Unfortunately, this was more difficult than we thought, and now we find ourselves in a very difficult economic situation; we cannot pay our rent, bills, or even food for our animals. This is truly a scary and heartbreaking situation to be in.

To see my husband's self-confidence drop, as he cannot provide for his family properly, as he wishes to do so much, it breaks my heart to see this, and it is truly scary to think about what will happen to us if we cannot pay our bills.. I don't even want to think about it.

I do pray for all families and people in the same situation as us, and frankly for anyone who is in need. We have always volunteered to help the less fortunate families in our area, as I want to teach my son to be helpful and considerate about other people, that we must help each other; maybe one day we will need some help... And here we are.

So, to the difficult part. The reason I am here and what we need: We pay 1300 USD for rent pr, month. It is a small apartment built more than 60 years ago, so it is almost as cheap as it gets.

For water, electricity, and other bills we pay approx. 1000 USD monthly.

So we need around 2300 USD to pay the most pressing bills and rent, and we probably need this help for a few months, until my husband (and myself getting more students for English) hopefully will find work that can keep us afloat independently.

I ask, humbly, if you have any possibility to help; any amount would help us.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea for help.
