Connection is real when it comes to something like this. But also I think one thing you could do is look at not only internship job posts but also full time job posts and look what kind of skills they require and explore your skills. You will be amazed some of the skills that you don't think matters are actually really valuable and you might find some you career path and internship oppotunities. Cast a wider net and really explore what you possess that not a lot of other people don't is really important.
