You need to do anything to get money right now. Look into food pantries and other programs to help with food and utilities.
You owe it to your daughter to be mentally healthy right now. She would rather live in a shelter and not have money to do activities than be an orphan with no family at all.

My daughter is angry with me because she had to quit activities she loves because I don’t have the money. I feel like a failure.

+1 hold on, folks. He's definitely not worth it.
Not always the ideal situation, but can you find something in another city/state? You have to go to where the jobs are, and sometimes, this ends up being a blessing in disguise.
It's definitely scary to be jobless (been laid off twice), but hold on. Do what you need to do to survive.
Move in with family (I did that once); downsize; move to a diff city/state. Again, not ideal, but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
Hang in there.
I have a high school senior, so I'm trying to stay local so she can graduate here. I can't even afford to downsize because I literally have no money. The only family I have are my parents, but they live in a 55+ community in a one bedroom and aren't allowed, nor have the space to accommodate two more people. Her father is a deadbeat who's been out of our lives since she was a baby so I can't even get any help from him. The timing of this couldn't be any worse.

OP, please don't do anything rash. "Losing everything" isn't as bad as you think it is. And that will not happen anyway. You are catastrophizing.
Please reach out to friends and relatives, and consider professional help.
My friend has been job-hunting desperately and is on anti-depressants. It's very hard. I know. But your life is valuable. You are precious. We need you here on earth.
Great advice until you realize he’s cutting the funding for 988, too.

Right there with you OP.
Except my career was the only thing I had to lose, and now that is gone, too. I want to sleep forever.

All of this. Please call someone.
It’s really, really hard out there right now. People who aren’t looking for a job don’t have a clue and can be very callous and diminishing. Take care of yourself.
And, like the PP said, the orange idiot is not worth it.
