I’m so sorry for you. Don’t mean to be intrusive but are you getting any available public assistance ie. Welfare/food stamps...?

This sounds so hard!
Crazy that you are both working full time yet stuggling so much!
I know what it feels like.... I had my water shut off and every single time the phone rang it was another call about money I owed.
I hope they turn on your electricity soon and I hope you get paid today!
It can only get easier from here...

The good part is that you can only go up from here!
It's really a miserable feeling that only someone that has been there can understand.
Is there a jewish relief agency in your town that you can approach for such an emergency situation?
Please put your pride away and call them. That is what they are there for.
When times get better for you, Beezras Hashem really quickly, you can pay them back the money.
This is just for a temporary help.
Hashem should bless you with abundance without any limits.

You're so kind thank you
I'm thinking of asking my boss for a loan and deduce every month an amount but I'm mortified!

It's actually a great idea! When he needs more cash flow, he also borrows, it's just from the bank! And here, you are just taking an advance.
Where I work, the employees do it all the time and the boss is very gracious about it.
I know about it. I do the payroll.

I know but he is so arrogant. I do his private accounts too and he is very rich but he has this attitude... I don't know what I'm going to do...

Oh I'm not worried about it he is very strict in paying on time, but sometimes he gives it a day early so I was hoping this month will be it

You are giving him an opportunity to do chessed.
Remember, it's not his money. It's from Hashem. The wheel of fortune can change in an instant. You are in this position now and nothing will happen to him if he does this favor for you. It can only be for his good.
Sometimes it works if you can imagine that you are someone else when you make the request. Email it if possible, it'll be less painful like that.

I agree and perhaps when he sees OP’s difficult situation, it might inspire him to give her a raise!
