Help us in the home stretch!

As many know, 3 of our 5 children came to us after their mother fell ill from covid, just 2 weeks after I lost my own mother. The only thing I ever promised them was stability. I couldn't bring back their mom, or make it all better but I promised we would be here and here with us would always be home.
For the last 6 months we have worked tirelessly to find a better living situation for our family. Researching, saving, and educating ourselves constantly. We have been dealing with a landlord who didn't care we had raccoons in our attic, drywall coming down in our bathroom, or that our home gets to 90° in the summer. Also a management company that repeatedly told us we were going to have to move because our home needs major repairs.
So we set out to buy a home to offer long term stability in a far too unstable world. We were on a good path and made it all the way to an accepted offer and a closing date of july 14th (the day after my birthday)! I reached out to my landlord and he pretty much said, good I want you out by the end of july anyways (we were due to re-sign the lease) oh and he wants to charge US for the work done to fix the raccoon issue because "I wouldn't have fixed it if I knew you were moving".
So now everything hinges on this new house! We have since learned that loan funding is falling just a little short, leaving us to pack and be completely unsure of where we may end up. As parents, this is earth shattering and panic inducing.
I have never come on here and asked anyone for a penny. We have always found a way, and I have faith we will again. As of now, we can't let this be the difference between us having our own beds or not, without trying to ask for some help. So if you feel it in your heart to help us raise the last bits we need to get this house and move in 10 DAYS, it would mean a world of difference for our little world. Thank you in advance for reading, interacting or sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
