Keep a roof over Nathan's head in London

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $4,050 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $960
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,850
• Utilities in arrears: $240
Thank you so much.

Updates from Nathan
Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($1,219). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($421 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
