Saving Us from Street to Shelter

I'm not going to lie this is embarrassing for me but my dog and I are in need of help I was working at a motel and had a place to live and life was going good but unfortunately some stuff happened at my work I had a man who lost his battle with depression and what I saw when I walked into the room that the loud bang came from well let's just say that's a sight that I won't forget and even after witnessing that I was asked to finish my shift so my boss could go back home and that started the animosity then 2 months later I had a man suffer a cardiac arrest in his bathtub I went into the room called for emergency services then pulled his body from the bathtub and started cpr and continued for over ten minutes until emts arrived and took over but unfortunately he didn't make it after that incident I told my boss I needed to take the next day off I was then chewed out and told I shouldn't have tried saving him if I couldn't mentally deal with it because now my boss had to come in on her day off and cover my shift after that things went even more south and in the heat of things I quit I didn't have a backup plan though so things went south fast and I know people have went through worse then that but my job was to check people in and help guest not talk to grieving families and having to apologize that I couldn't save their loved ones or telling them how they were in their last moments and reliving those moments because they rightfully wanted to know what exactly happened to their loved ones and hugging complete strangers as they broke down in the lobby seeing brothers sisters mother's and fathers who's faces showed how much they were broken afterwards and feeling like I could've done more to save them and just feeling like it was my fault so I had to leave and after I left I couldn't pay my bills so I sold everything and I mean everything I owned to keep me and my pup off the streets and food in our bellies but I didn't have much and after a few weeks we were broke again I am doing everything I can to keep us fed and safe but I can only do so much I can't work because I have nowhere for him to be while I go to work and he's to easily excited to try and take him to work with me so here I am putting my faith in strangers which like I said is embarrassing but it's unfair to my dog to not ask for help I understand why we're sleeping outside in the rain I understand why we're hungry and thirsty I understand that we're only going to be able to get a couple hours of sleep because the cops are going to kick us out of where we're at before the sun comes out but he doesn't and me not wanting to hurt my ego by embarrassing my self and reaching out is just not fair to him at all he's been my best friend for 3 years now and even after the car accident that landed us both in surgery the cold nights when we've been hungry the long days of walking miles to try and find somewhere away from the drug addicts so we could sleep and not have to worry about getting robbed in our sleep and all the other stuff we have been through he never once loved me any less but I'll end this here and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can give and that I'm genuinely touched by your kindness and generosity towards a stranger and his dog trying their best just to live with dignity your support means more than words can express
