I can't think of an equivalent English proverb.

I did find this verb-phrase pair on the web.

死中に活を求める
find a way out of an impossible situation

Here's a sentence.
https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/9524765
I hope that we can find a way out of this impossible situation.

I just finished a comment complaining about the English translation. Along the lines of the preceding comment here, I would suggest something like:
"They're trying to escape a dire predicament."

> 助かる見込みがない状態で、生き延びる道を探す.

They're looking for ...
We're looking for ...
I'm trying to find ...

None of these, however, capture the feeling of a proverb.
