Desperately need advice from a long-time lurker here

Hello everybody. I have been lurking on these forums for years, so I feel I know most of you although you don't really know me. So for that I apologize for always lurking and never showing my face.

I am a singel parent of six who sells an ebook that is based on a personal experience in my life that concerns abuse. It is not a IM ebook, by far. Just wanted to establish this upfront.

I have been using PayPal for years, and live hand-to-mouth. Let's just say that what I make each day in sales what I spend that very next day in living expenses. I don't receive child support or assistance, state assistance, etc.

PayPal has never done me wrong. Until now. I never thought it would happen to me (as I hear quoted here all the time) but it did! PayPal put a 21-day hold on my sales for no reason. I have an excellent record, and almost zero refunds or chargebacks over the years. Yet just two weeks before Christmas they stop allowing me to get my money! Numerous attempts to contact them by email resulted in jsut two 'robot-answered' form-letter replies. Phoning is even less successful. "That account cannot be accessed via phone". Huh?

I am panicking! I don't have any money put away as I state I live hand-to-mouth - and barely that. I will lose my home as i will nto eb able to pay rent. No Christmas gifts. Water about to be shut-off. My dog (I rescued him from a methlab-drug house two years ago) -- who I would run in front of a moving train to save -- is sick with cancer and I can't even get his vet care. He will die, for sure. That will kill me and the kids more than anything.

Thank God my vehicle is paid for, but it is also old and not worth anything so not an option to fall back on (i.e, cash for car loan).

Here is my question. At the end of the 21-days, do I get all 21-days worth of my holdings released, or do I only get released the holdings from the 21 days ago stand-point. What I am trying to explain is this...if I made $100 yesterday, and I make $120 tomorrow, will I only get the $100 from yesterday 21 days from now, or will I get everything I made from this point forward at the end of the 21 days?

I don't know what to do, and going to another account (2CO, ClickBank, etc.) do nto sem options because they all have a two weeks pay, and not an immediate pay 'today' liek PayPal hadd. Also, I tried Google Checkout and made two sales through them, but both sales failed, so I am not going to trust them -- never had that problem at all with PayPal.

Appreciate any advice, as I am sick to my stomach with stress and can't stop stressing. I feel like I'm going to die
