Keep a roof over Emilia's head in Stockholm

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,150.
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 teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $4,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,950
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $740
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Emilia. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Kazan but we're thinking of you. All the best
hang in there, Emilia. Shared this with my family. God bless.
wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 27 people at work. Love from Warsaw!
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista!
