> My friends: well, I am usually the person that is supporting them when they are in crisis.

Are your friends even aware of your situation? Have you given them the chance to offer help?

Last time I found myself in a similar situation I told everyone about it. A friend of mine who is bootstrapping a startup offered me some work for enough money to cover my month's expenses. I'm sure his team could have done the work themselves, but he had the work and had the budget and wanted to help.

Given your legal circumstances, you might want to look into moving over to contracting/freelance/consulting anyway. You're less likely to deal with the taboo of your legal situation when engaging as a representative of a company on equal footing. Start with leveraging your network, then LI, then finally hit up Upwork and the like if you're still not finding anything.
