Do you have a church, mosque, or synagogue? They would help if they knew you are in need.
There are organizations that will give you food, without even having to fill out extensive forms - and that is very helpful, because then you don't have to spend what little money you have on food, and can instead pay for such things as electricity and running water.
There are also organizations that will help you find employment, if appropriate. Are your sons children or adults? You can get a child care subsidy from your local social services, if you are prevented from working by the cost of child care.
Call your department of social services - their number is listed in the blue pages of the phone book. They will be able to tell you what assistance they can give you, and they will also be able to give you contact phone numbers for these other organizations.
Oh, and this is the time of year that a lot of Christmas charities are operating - they hand out tons of food, some household items, and a few token gifts, and the application for those is usualy pretty simple too.

Can't find a stable home? Well, if you put concrete blocks and 2x4s under three parts of the motor home, it should be pretty stable... Yeah, just a little levity for ya.
How old are the sons? With a little ingenuity, they can probably find a legal way to bring in some money.
I don't know what part you play in the family, but it seems that not only are you literate, you're also basically computer literate. So I would suggest you go out and look for profitable work.
Charity is for the really down-trodden. There's always somebody worse-off than you.
Although, if you need food, there are food banks in most major cities. If you need medical care, there are inexpensive/free public hospitals and clinics also. If you desire training because you want to pursue a vocation, you might be able to find some grant money for the local schools. You can also teach yourself a large amount of things just by going to your local library... which also has a phone book, so you can look up the kinds of places I mentioned before.

Since you didn't mention where you are located it is tough to give specific advice, But almost every community has a community service agency look in your phone book. I work in a service agency and we are required to know about different organizations in our area so we can refer people to them. It is also a good idea to contact your local housing authority if you are looking for affordable housing most places have waiting lists so call as soon as possible. And of course there is always Salvation Army again your community service agency should be able to find out what is available in your area. Good Luck to You am sure you will find something very soon.

depending on your location(not stated in your question) There are many apartments where rent is based on your income. There is also HUD and section 8 housing where they pay the rent in a home or trailer. There should also be salvation army and churches that will help with the utilities. You should qualify for food stamps and the kids should be getting free lunches. The department of human services usually will do everything they can to help you.
