No money, no help for us. My kids will have no Christmas

I'm at a loss. I've got 2 kids, one is special needs. My husband and I were both laid off in the fall. Unemployment has made a horrible clerical error with his claim, so he has not seen a check in 3 months. They keep telling him that they will sort it out, but the supervisors are busy, so it'll be 4 more weeks.
Because he qualified for unemployment, we are denied any and all assistance. My money last month went to heat, so we are 2 months late on rent. I dont eat so i can feed the kids. There will be no presents for my babies this year. And that is tearing my heart out. They're so good, and don't deserve this.
I can't live with this any more. I don't want to see the day when we are homeless, or the food runs out.
I am at the end of my strength. There is no help for us, and we are victims of the unemployment offices error, which they are not rushing to fix. I have broken down begging, and they just told me to go apply for services, which were already denied months back.
I need help, and strength. I've worked my entire life, why can't there be help for my babies?
