Keep a roof over Brielle's head in Birmingham

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850.
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 two young children 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,050
• Late fees and court costs: $105
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $435
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best, Brielle. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Birmingham.
Wishing you peace, Brielle. This could happen to any of us.
Wishing you the best, Brielle. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
