Keep a roof over Pınar's head in Istanbul

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
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 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 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 $1,150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $210
• Rent arrears (3 months): $860
• Late fees and court costs: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Pınar. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pınar.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first month of rent as a buffer comes first ($210) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Townsville
You're not alone, Pınar. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
You're not alone, Pınar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 38 people at work. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Guarulhos
Take care, Pınar. Hope you get there.
