Tube flat ... Bike cleanup advice

I don't post here often hope I'm posting in the right subforum.

​​​​
yesterday I lost all air in back tire while bike was locked up and I was in a store. Found a ride to get bike home. Put air in to see what would happen... Air went out as fast as I put it in. This morning took things apart and found gash in the tube same side as valve which I think is being caused by a kinda pointy spoke under the rubber strip. About a year ago I had flat due to the valve rubbing on the rim and I shifted the rubber but looks like that might be trouble again ugh! Anyway I'm broke and not sure the best route to fix.

I'm embarrassed to post pic because I have seriously neglected cleaning and maintenance while taking care of my grandma with dementia. Any tips on cleaning my my bike would be appreciated!
