try to get that act up. to be honest i think it is very low BUT i mean it is VERY rare to have someone work 30 hours a week. That is incredibly impressive. If you have strong grades to support that and a stronger act (do it again and study for it) and you right a kick ass essay that shows your special situation and the fact that you are supporting your family i think you have a chance. Never stop dreaming. I went from a low 1200s/ 1700 sat to a 1480 / 2130 SAT you CAN do it just believe in yourself and STUDY. Now i have a very interesting background but my story is no where near as interesting as yours i can tell you that. CAPTIVATE the admissions officer you have me captivated already. I hope you EDed at some college that would have dramatically improved your chances. And try not to think of any school as a “saftey school” try to imagine yourself being there. remember that you may very well end up there and you do not want ot have an inferiority complex when attending whatever school you end up attending.
