A car accident left Smit short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 2 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $410
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning. Greetings from Riverside.
Wishing you peace, Smit. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mysuru.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Kampala.
Sending good thoughts, Smit. Your post was clear and honest.
