security deposit and first months rent

I recently seperated from my husband of 29 years and I am trying to get an apartment and I need the first months rent and a security deposit. I have tried to rent a room from craig's list and I was scammed and lost money. I am starting over by myself at the age of 48 and I do not have any money. I was sleeping in my car for several days and I am now in a woman's shelter for a short time. I just got a part-time job but I still need some help financially this one time so I can get on my feet. My son is living with his dad until I can support both of us. I am asking please if someone can help me with money.
Thank you for reading this.
