Help me get caught up and we'll be ok

Photo for: Help me get caught up and we'll be ok

This is hard. Im a server, 12 years here now. Ive always been able to pay my bills and have spending money, go on vacations, ect. I knew when they started taxing tips it would affect us, I just didn't think it would hurt me so bad. I know they said they would stop taxing our tips but since they go to my paycheck now of course they're gonna tax it. Ive barely kept it together this long. Now that im behind on so much i cant catch up. Im 2 months behind on the mortgage now. Thats 996 x2. Im 2 months behind on electric. Worried it will be cut off any day. I have some. But what to pay? Electric i guess since I don't have enough for the mortgage. I havent paid my credit cards or student loans in a good minute. Our internet will likely be off tonight. My daughter and her 3 year old daughter live with and depend on me for everything. She about to have another baby girl any day now, so I know ill be missing work soon. Shes due November 23. The baby dropped yesterday and she's dilated 1 cm rn. We go to the doc tomorrow to maybe plan the birth via c section. Christmas is so close. Im just really so stressed. Ive never done this before and honestly dont expect it to work. This is true desperation. This is real. No hustle. I truly need help. I have been wrecking my brain on how to make some extra money but it takes money to make money, doesn't it? And time, which i really do not have. The pic is my daughter and her daughter(s)
