Researching financial help

I reached out to a nonprofit organization and when we were discussing my finances, the case worker asked me about my wife's finances. I told her what my wife's income was (which in hindsight I shouldn't have done), and now I'm wondering just how much this is going to affect the amount of financial aid I might receive. Any thoughts?

    Why is it so hard to find financial guidance and help during this extremely stressful time??

    As a caregiver and mother I feel like our family is going in circles And running up against walls.
