Use of ‘stretch’

Can you help me with the use of ‘stretch’ in these sentences? What words or what way I can do differently to express better?

Situation 1: It can stretch until the end of May so she can have more time to decide. (I mean I give her till the end of May so she can decide if she can let me stay with her)

Situation 2: I have canned food so I can stretch until Sunday.
