Try suggestions from Crown Financial Ministries.
Also, can your debts be consolidated with the help of a company (debt consolidation) that WON'T charge you? Usually the free services are through your county. Then you have one debt instead of many because this service acts as a go-between for you and your debtors and the payments are according to your ability.
As for the kids-sometimes they have to work their way through college. My son is doing that. Scholarships and grants can make all the difference too, but a person has to be aggressive to find out about them and apply.
As for how to make an income: do you like sales? Some jobs I can think of for older people that you still have time to learn are: insurance sales, multi-level marketing (look for something with a LOW or NO investment), accountant....
You know, Crown Financial, and probably your local community college, have courses you can take to tell what you are good at and which jobs require your skills. It's never too late to get a new lease on life.
Blessings and much success to you. Buttercup

There is a book titled "48 days to the work you love".
Also Dave Ramsey has a good book on getting out of debt.
