Keep a roof over Marisol's head in Coatzacoalcos

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I've 4 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $960
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $85
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ubud.
Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Minneapolis.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Coatzacoalcos!
