Need help or resources for rent please

I live in New Mexico and need help with our deposit and 1st months rent. We had been renting my sister's home for $600 a month and paying her for the utilities because they were in her name. Four days ago she asked us to leave after we paid her for rent and utilities because we would not start paying her an extra $200 a month.
We found a couple who was renting a home who allowed us to move in with the condition that we pay the deposit and first month's rent by May 5, 2009. They were kind enough to allow us to move in so that we would not be homeless with our two children, but now I have no way to come up with all the money after paying all the deposits for the utilities and paying someone to use their truck to move.
We need $350 for the deposit and $600 for the rent. I have checked the Income Support Division because we are on state assistance and have called all the places they referred me to. All the places said we had to be behind and have an eviction notice or that they just don't pay deposits. I don't know what to do now. I won't have the money by the 5th and am scared. I have a 3 year old and a 15 year old. I have Cardiomyapathy, I suffer from severe depression, and my boyfriend has kidney problems.
Does anyone know where I can get help here in New Mexico? I am so upset I just want it to end. Please help me, please.
