You need to specify re “pay my bills”. What bills. Specify gas, electric? If you say bills it could mean credit card bills which could be all debt accumulated over time due to buying things you didn’t have to buy. If somebody told me my pay my bills I’d not be sure what to think. But help me with electric bills or my electricity is due to be turned off tomorrow, it would be a very different story. Or just simply state your lease isn’t up but owner raised rent and you lost your job and can’t pay your rent. Specify what exact amount you are short for paying monthly rent next month.
I also recommend you call your utilities and tell them you lost your job and see what assistance they might offer. Cancel your cable. You don’t need it now. Gas and electric are expensive so maybe they have a plan to help with a bill
Food bank. They have decent grocery selection. That would eliminate need shopping for groceries while you are unemployed
