What does 2 Kings 4:2 mean?

Elisha asked, 'What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?' She said, 'Nothing at all, except a small jar of oil.' 2 Kings 4:2 - Modern Text Bible

(Elisha wants to help, but first asks what resources she has. She’s down to her last bit of oil—she’s truly at the end of her rope.)
