Help us save our home

This is the absolute last thing I ever wanted to do, it's very embarrassing and I hate that it's come to this point.
My name is Ashley and I'm am a single mother to two wonderful children who are my entire world. Right now we are at risk of loosing our home.
A little backstory...
I was married to my ex husband for 5 years before I finally got enough courage to kick him out July 2023. During those 5 years my kids and I were on the recieving end of emotional, verbal, and mental abuse. I was also on the recieving end of physical abuse. It was a horrible time and so proud that we finally got away. He is now in prison serving 5 yrs for domestic violence.
During that 5 years from October 20, 2020 to September 2nd 2021, my mom, grandma and grandpa all passed away. My mom actually caught covid from my grandma's funeral and she passed less than a month after my gma.
Durning this time I was staying at my mom and grandparents home to help with the animals and with thier health. After my mom passed my uncles decided they were going to sell my families home. They told me I had a year to get my credit where it needed to be in order to by the house, or they were selling it.
I busted my butt off and worked to get my credit where it needed to be and I was able to take a mortgage out on my families home so I could pay my uncles thier 2/3rds of the price. (When my mom died, 1/3 of the property became mine.)
Since my whole family died and I was able to get away from my ex husband things have been really hard.
When I was getting evaluated for injuries I recieved from my ex husband in July 2023 it came to light that there was something going on with my health. After a lot of testing I found out I had thyroid cancer that had mastisized into 15 lyphnodes. November 2023 I went in for surgery were they removed my whole thyroid and 15 lymphnodes. I was out of work for almost 2 months and that really hurt. Then I ended up loosing my job (headstart teacher) due to dcs involvement after my ex did what he did.
I was without work from July to September which put us behind even more. On top of that my cancer had come back. I was scheduled for surgery again in November 2024 for a full right neck disection to remove 10 more infected lyphnodes. So yet again I was without work for recovery from surgery and then at the end of December I went through iodine radiation therapy and was off work again until mid January.
Now we are just drowning. I don't make enough money right now to pay all our bills. My mortgage is now in stage 2 delinquent status and I'm afraid they are gonna foreclose on our home soon.
I'm asking for help to get us caught up and maybe just a little ahead so I can figure out how in the world with one income that we are going to survive and keep our home. And it's not even just our home. But it's belonged to our family for over 60 years. I helped my grandpa turn a pole barn into the current home that we now live in. I don't want to loose it. I've worked so hard to keep it, my kids have lived her ethier whole lives.
Anything would help. I'm at the point now that I feel like such a failure. I'm drowning and barely able to keep my head up above the water. If it wasn't for my kids I'd of given up long ago. They deserve so much more than I feel like im able to give them at this point. I hate asking for help, but I have no other choice at this point.
Thank you all for your time.
