Try to cut down every possible corner?
Should I cancel my cleaning lady (2hours a week), downgrade my cellphone to talk and text only, downgrade insurance premiums etc before reaching out to tomchei shabbos?

No.
Certain sacrifices you should make, of luxuries you don't really need and things that are a mental or emotional block ( like I can only buy Jewish brands!)
But anything your family needs to live in a normal healthy manner you should try to do for yourself.
Tzedakah will only give you certain things. If them giving you food enables you to do something else your family needs, then that's what you should do.
And things like downgrading insurance premiums are going to cost you more in the long run presumably. (Unless you mean just getting a cheaper but equivalent plan which is always a good idea.)

No if you’re being super careful don’t hesitate to call tomechei shabbos
It all depends on the family situation many times you need the cleaning help to scrub work.. 2 hours is minimal help keep it and accept the tomechei shabbos help

If it necessary for your mental health it is a necessity.
2 hrs of cleaning help in minimal but I am sure it means a lot to you.
