Keep a roof over Aline's head in Rio de Janeiro

When the bakery closed in February, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $340
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Late fees and court costs: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
