(23F) I need to come up with money quickly, what should I do? I’d do anything at this point

I got laid off in late December (I was an Electrician helper at an LNG plant), i had worked there for about a year and a half, and i’m still trying to find more work. I had a pretty solid savings and was Doordashing to help cover costs as well, but my savings is basically gone and Doordashing this past month has gotten me nowhere near where it did before. I have $190 to my name and a car note that’s overdue by 10 days and i’m freaking out, I’ve never made a late payment before and i’m scrambling to scrape it together.

I only got my first Credit card in November, so my credit is 509 and i can’t get approved for a loan, i have a appointment tomorrow to try donating plasma, and I started petsitting on Rover but I only got booked for a job two months out (not to mention signing up put me out another $40 for the background check)

what else can i try at this point? Are there side hustles i can try that don’t have an initial cost? even if it doesn’t pay a lot. Does anyone know where i could get approved for a loan despite my low credit that’s legitimate? Or WFH jobs, or someone that could recommend me for more plant work (i live in TX but i’ve moved for work before and could do it again)

I’ve never been in this position before, and i’m open to any advice or suggestions
