Help! Trying To Save Our House

Donation protected

My Father David Briere passed away in January of this year from cancer and my Mother Kathy Hopkins passed away in June of this year from cancer, both with no will (after paying into the mortgage for 30 years). Nothing has been easy so far. We had to push the date of her services back a month to July which left bills and paperwork in her name, because without the death certificate we couldn't prove she had died. Bills piled up, we switched the bills to our name once we finally had the death certificate and paid them all.(lots of running around and a few days out of work) Back in January when my Father passed, the mortgage did not get paid that month. The bank defaulted on our mortgage, and started foreclosure. By the time my Mother passed away the bank owned the house and had set an auction date. I had to claim my parent's extremely high house debt of over $200,000 and had to embarrassingly file bankruptcy to stop the foreclosure the day before the auction. My 2 brothers and I work enough to pay the mortgage for the house and land /pay bills but right now we need to come up with a lot to win the bankruptcy court case and get our name on the mortgage. This is the property my parents cared deeply about and the house my brothers Daniel, Timothy and myself were born in and would like to hold onto. We have a beautiful all organic backyard farm with a greenhouse full of tropical and rare/medicinal plants from all over the world, farm animals (Many chickens and many ducks, goats, rabbits, turkeys, quails, and sheep) and countless gardens and large fruiting trees which feed us year round. With rapidly approaching deadlines we literally need any help we can get! We need to come up with as much as possible for the bank to even want us on the mortgage because they could choose to not let us have it at all; making the bankruptcy a waste of time and money and emotion. We also need to obtain house insurance but because the house was built in 1890 we have to bring the property up to code and repair/paint a lot which involves getting a dumpster. I have fundraisers and benefits planned for the future but for now we have fallen short on money entirely and need help badly, any help is appreciated.
