I am a hardworking person who had health issues randomly come up that makes it impossible for me to drive, stand too long, and even sit for a long period of time. (I used to walk an hour and forty five minutes to work before I got my car, now I can’t even walk 5-10 minutes without really pushing it) I have a child who relies on me and I have been trying to find ways to make a solid, reliable income with remote work but it’s damn near impossible.
I’m a faster learner and determined, but most of the listings I see are either scams, or require you to have experience or a college education. I didn’t know I was going to get health issues that prevented me from working, so I never prepared for this.
My other issue is I only have my phone and a Chromebook, and I’ve noticed a lot of these jobs mention software that my Chromebook wouldn’t be able to download and I have no income, so no money to get a work set up. But even if I did, I still wouldn’t know how to actually get a job. I’ve even reached out to local job services programs and requested their help, and they basically told me I could try FlexJobs and such, which I already tried with no luck.
I’m on the brink of homelessness because of a diagnosis that came out of no where. I’ve spent hours everyday for months remote job searching with no luck. WHAT DO I DO?

(& before anyone says it, I will become homeless and probably lose my child if I waited for disability to be approved, it takes too long. I just want to work)
