Fundraising for Legal Fees to Secure Home

I would never do this if it wasn't completely necessary . I started this GoFundMe because I need help to raise money for lawyer expenses. In 2019 I moved into my house. I finished paying off my house over 2 years ago but have yet to receive the deed to my house. The previous owner has been giving me nothing but excuse as to why he hasn't transferred the deed over to me. At this point I have no choice but to take legal action. I have contacted a lawyer to begin the process of suing him to obtain the deed to my property. Unfortunately I do not have the means to afford the lawyer and I am asking for help so I can move forward with this process. The lawyer fees are $2,000. If you can help in anyway that would be greatly appreciated.
