Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was sentenced to 29 weeks battery intervention classes and $800 in court fines or serve a 60 day jail sentence, its now the end of my sentence 11/26 when everything is supposed to be completed and I have 6 classes remaining and I haven't made an attempt on my court fines because I lost my job and I went to SD to make money at the bike rally thus why missing the 6 classes, me, the victim [father of my child in the case] and my pastor wrote a letter to the judge asking for an extension and leniency on my fines, and I check my records online and it says Judge has denied defendants request. This is my first offense.
