No, they’ve already accepted you, and schools generally only take back offers if they find out you did something like lying on your application or your grades plummet.

If you didn’t apply for financial aid but your circumstances have radically changed, that’s a good reason to contact the office of financial aid and explain the situation! Mt. Holyoke is mostly need blind - financial aid factors in to decisions only in very edge cases. I’m not familiar with their policy on international financial aid, but given the change in situation they might be willing to work with you. The worst they can say is no, and nothing will change if you don’t contact them.

Getting a job on campus is a good idea regardless, and while you do have to actively pursue opportunities it’s not particularly hard. But you probably aren’t going to make enough working on campus to make up for a whole lost income. Contacting Financial Aid is your best bet. I’m very sorry about your father, and I hope things can be worked out.
