 We moved to a house on an orchard and were not told of health risks from drift and the misuse of chemicals and pesticides. We are now getting sick. My dog is not doing well at all. Now we do not have the money to move. I dont know if I should just leave and live in our car or stay and hope things work out? I am very confused I have a hard time consentrating due to poisons. Are there grants or emergency funds when needed to move due to health risk in current rental?

I would recoommend that you contact your local housing authority and share your story with them. They would know what programs you might qualify for or be able to direct you to another agency that could help. You might check to see if there are Legal Aid Services offered at little or no cost to see if you might have a case agains the people who rented you this property.

There are also a number of crowdfunding platforms now that let you share your story and see if others will help to fund your needs. Check out some details and more information about a few of the most popular personal crowdfunding sites.
