Federal assistance (google "welfare office" and your area), but you won't get money immediately. If you lost your job, you should be getting unemployment (though again, it can take a while to kick in). If you don't have any more friends or family to borrow from, you might lose your home. Do you rent? If so, try explaining (calmly and politely) to your landlord, and offer a solution like paying this month's rent over the next three months rather than paying it on time. If you own, call your mortgage company - you can probably defer your payments until you're back on your feet.
Otherwise, try something like this: http://www.prosper.com/ where individual people loan you money. If you lose your home entirely, there is probably a womens' shelter nearby...not a great alternative, but it's clean and pretty safe.

Besides the other ideas mentioned, talk to the hospital and see if they will write off part of the bill.
I hope the baby is going to a good home? There are thousands of couples that have been waiting for years, it would be a great blessing to them, and they are in a better position to care for a new baby.....

Go to your welfare office..They may be able to help pay part of your rent..In the mean time you have got to get a job. I really hope your daughter knows what she has gotten herself into. I had a baby at 15 and thought I knew everything so please dont think I am picking on you or your child.
Good Luck~
