I don't know how much internet access you have or if you can get access at a liibrary or something but www.swagbucks.com is a place you can earn some money online and it is legit-I've been doing it for 5 years. You can choose various things to do to earn points and when you get enough you can cash them out for gift cards or paypal for cash. 1-2 hours a day has been enough for me to get $25-$50/month in the past; I haven't been doing it lately very much because of computer problems.

I don't know if that helps or not but it got me through a really rough time .
