State disability might be an option, as you were a fulltime student. It can't hurt to check it out. Other things you might look into (if you haven't already) is programs that give discounts on phone service/ eletric bill for low income families.
I know it might be not a fun thing to do, but maybe you can trade in/sell your car and buy another cheaper care and either eliminate or substantially lower the car payment. IMO, cars just need to a) run decently and b) be safe.
You might want to call the welfare dept, perhaps? you qualify temporarily ??? if you are unable to work? And sometimes welfare departments do have a list of community resources - folks and programs that may be able to help you out.
