Help a single mother avoid eviction

Donation protected
Hello! This post is a gesture of despair. It’s very embarrassing to ask for help, but I can’t cope alone, and I’m afraid to think what will happen next if I don’t find support. I am 39 years old, I have two children and more than a dozen cats, either adopted or born from rescued cats. I have no one else either in this country or in my homeland in Belarus. Over the past year, after several strong emotional upheavals (my mother died, my beloved man betrayed me, my only friend in Moscow was killed), my health has deteriorated greatly: first, an intervertebral hernia put me in bed for 4 months, and then my blood pressure began to fluctuate greatly. I didn’t have medical insurance and now I’m still waiting for it, so I don’t have the opportunity to be examined by a cardiologist yet. While I was in bed, due to a hernia, I lost my regular job, which fed us. I’m already working again, but now my earnings are only enough for the necessary monthly expenses, and while I was sick, a considerable debt for rent accumulated, and the landlord filed a lawsuit to collect the debt (9,000 debt + court fees = 13,000 payable) and evicting us from the apartment. Due to also unpaid credits and the inability to pay them now with my current salary, I had to file for bankruptcy. But if I pay the rent debt now, the landlord agrees that we continue to rent an apartment from him and not evict us. And we need this critically, because... Finding another place to live is almost impossible with my cats, my current background and ability to pay (now housing has become much more expensive), and plus my daughter has some psycho-emotional characteristics and changing schools will only worsen the situation. I’m trying very hard to get my life back to normal and I can handle it, I should, but now I really need financial, and moral too, support. If you have a desire to help, then I will be glad and grateful for every dollar, without which I cannot cope now. Thank you in advance and may God bless you!
