Aware that agoraphobic can't leave home.. In my case since government don't give government support here. I tried working online but sigh. The payment is so little.

Please advice guys if what am I going to do? is there any churches or agencies that can eventually help an agoraphobic?

I'm still trying to figure that out myself, lol. I'm sorry your stuck in a tough spot. As am I and others like us. I've been fortunate to have others help support me financially. But even that has an expiration date eventually. If you have family or friends to rely on, do so. Otherwise, it'll take having to tough it out amongst people and try to live with the anxiety. We're probably from different countries/cultures so I don't know what safety nets you might have. I hope you find some help though.

Yeah that's what agoraphobia is, you end up retreating, into your home, I had it so bad I was stuck in the bedroom and even going into any other room in the house triggered a panic attack. Seriously read that thread, it offers amazing advice. Can you afford to see a Doctor/psychiatrist about this?

Unfortunately no.... I don't know how much a psychiatrist will charge me if I will invite her at home for treatment..

I am eventually stressed with my acupuncture treatment payments weekly as I am only earning little with my online job(humanatic).

Hard if you don't have something for your medications and all... I don't want bothering my sisters as they have their own family and also struggling.
