Panic setting in, dire need of help

[Scout2470]

Hi, I am Single mum with Cancer and multiple Sclerosis making me susceptible to the covid 19 virus, my problem and total panic is besides the fact if I get it my son will be on his own if I need care and  we were about to move into a new apartment but the owner decided to keep it for his family so we needed to move into a hotel, I have no money left, the hotel wants us out because I am out of money and I can’t seem to find help anywhere especially because I can’t leave our room or risk my life…does anyone have any suggestions who I can turn to?
we are in the Hayes area

thank you
