Sorry to hear, feel free to DM me more details so I can give more personal advice.
Being a TA for a bootcamp isn't a bad idea, I've worked with a few people who do TA'ing at their former bootcamps OR other bootcamps to help a little with the bills.
Definitely consider adjacent roles or going back to your former job to pay the bills, while continuing to hustle on the side for a SWE job - or a SWE adjacent job.
I would have more advice knowing 1. what your background was before, 2. where you are located.
But yeah it's tough out there and I know I come across doom and gloom and I wish I didn't have to be, but you are doing a lot just openly sharing your situation so that you can help others make a more informed choice about going to a bootcamp right now or not.
