Feeling defeated.

A couple months ago I had to quit my job to stay home with my 2 kids. We tried to apply for financial day care assistance before this and were completely denied. Now I applied for food benefits since we are down to one income. Still waiting on that. Not very much income and very little savings. Maybe 2 months rent before we are drained. I've been looking for a a job that could do when my husband is home or when a parent can watch , basically Sat-Mon but I can't find anything. It's been almost 2 months and haven't gotten close to anything that works. I thought about door dash but not sure it's even worth it considering the gas and wear and tear on my car and can't afford full coverage on insurance on it anymore. Thinking about starting a business but just in the beginning stage and have to apply for a loan.. it will take weeks or months to get started.. and there are personal circumstances that are making this even more stressful than it already is.. I'm hanging by a thread.. if you have any good suggestions of what I could do I'm all ears! For reference I am in Western Washington.
