Save family from becoming homeless

Please help my classmate and friend. She is working mother of 4 precious children and needs to provide $1800 for a deposit on a new apartment by 01/22/2017 or they may just end up homeless during winter. Their old apartment complex is under new management and the mother cannot afford the additional expenses included with the updated lease. The new company is trying to evicted her and the children by the end of the week and won't accepted her regular monthly payments for the apartment. She recently went to court but the financial toll is putting to much on her. I only wish I could do more for her. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
