When it rains it pours and I am sorry you got rained on.
I have had it as tough as you but not for a long long time Thank God.

(just prior to moving to Texas, I had two vehicles, one car and one motorcycle, stolen with no insurance against theft

...while at the same time, my boyfriend was losing himself to crack cocaine, (I loved him but had to dump him), the plumbing was out in my kitchen and my vacuum was on the blink...with a cat in the house! Not to mention having to lug laundry on a bicycle a mile to the laundry mat) Life sucked but it did get better once I focused on my priorities and let all the other problems kiss the wind so to speak.

I really feel for you and your situation. I wish I could help you but there is nothing I can do except give you a (virtual) hug, tell you that I care and let you know that I will keep you in my prayers.

I hope you can keep your job.
Ask a friend for a vacuum so you can call the maintenance man...at least you don't have to pay for that repair yourself!
As far as sleeping on the couch goes, I did it for over ten years...too poor to afford a two bedroom place until I bought my home and I always let my son have the one bedroom in the duplexes we rented...you don't have to get used to it and that is a good thing!
See about renting to own new furniture (they even deliver) once you are sure your financial sitiuation is secure. These places seem like rip-offs and ARE if you make the payments a little at a time as per contracts but if you pay larger amounts and pay it off earlier, you can really save some money. I got my son a decent Fischer stereo/CD changer/cassette recorder with Dolby surround sound at a lower than retail price by going that route. It will all work out my friend and if there is anything I can do for you short of sending you money because I work in exchange for room and board, just let me know.

Love, Hugs & Peace,
Moni
