I've made about $2100 in the last 4 years I think (I have had times I've made more than other times).
You need to look into Affiliate Marketing or perhaps ebay, shopify, etc.

Anna,

As I may have mentioned in other threads, my best friend works for the largest homeless shelter (and provider of services for the homeless) in Hawaii, and Oahu has a serious homeless problem. He was a case worker for a while, which involved taking responsibility for a caseload of 40 homeless 'clients' (I think they're actually officially referred to as "consumers", which I find tacky). He would negotiate their passage through the public health system when they were sick, hunted them down in their usual haunts to check on them and see if they needed anything, and coordinated their benefit eligibility and fulfillment, so he constantly had to deal with the Catch-22 of maximum income, minimum credit score, qualification and long and slow lines for Section 8 subsidized housing, and endless other complications that kept people from receiving housing, medical insurance coverage and cash benefits to which they were qualified and entitled. I mention all this because there may be a similar shelter or homeless advocacy organization in your city that knows the ropes and can help you get the benefits you deserve.

Someone on another website asked me, "well can't you find a better family member to live with?"....they just don't get it.

I'm actually starting to believe the government is trying to kill me by making sure I have nowhere to go.
I've felt the same way, and I've been in this same "gig" for about 13 years now. I've barely been able to keep my head above water so far, but now things are really bad. At the beginning of this month, I actually smiled because I finally reached the $200 mark on my savings. I'm not a big spender; I didn't fly off to Vegas or gamble or spend it all on cigs or anything (not a smoker anyway.) Now, I have just $35 in savings and not sure how I'm going to make it to the end of the month. That was also my Christmas money. There's no way I'm going to be able to make that up now so late in the year.

Absolutely no one cares about people on SSI, the disabled or anything. Just a bunch of rich dogs trying to rule this godforsaken country and take everything away from those of us just trying to live day to day, week to week.

I understand you.

I get 365 euros -408 dollars- because i am disable
and i can't work

I cannot rent a flat only for me, I have to share it with 2 more people. It costs me 250 euros -my room-, I have -only- 115 euros -128 dollars- to buy food and everything I need.

people in my country are given few money because It's supposed you are living with a family member so you don't have to pay any rent. I don't have family at all... so what can i do? Nothing.

And everything is full, has a long waiting list, requires a credit check, and someone checked my credit score and it is only 300. so requirements of high credit and income never work out. There is nothing. Housing for me does not exist.

What is the point of giving someone that money when it doesn't even cover a place for them to live?
Social services have been very inadequate to address my needs over the years as well, which led to homelessness with dire physical consequences to my body. My heart goes out to all those impacted by the inadequacies and insufficiencies of those social services, and I hope both that they can be rendered adequate and sufficient to address people's needs, and that your needs specifically are addressed posthaste.
