Mom w/stage 4 cancer losing house
Donation protected
We have had foreclosure scares before but this is the closest things have ever actually been. There is a sale date. The house that my mom lives in has been scheduled to be sold on 2/20. You can see it here: https://www.southlaw.com/report/Sales_Report_MO.pdf
I would prefer to handle everything myself but I really can't do things alone. I have no brothers, no sisters, no aunts, no family. It's just me. I've now been given a final number by Commerce Bank. In order to stop this process, I'm being told we'll need about $1,000 plus attorney fees and court costs totalling $3726.45.
My mom has a stage 4 terminal breast cancer and of course cannot work or do anything to obtain an income. She does not and cannot receive any disability, SSI, welfare, etc. Doctors have revised her estimates and expect her to live 6 months or less at this point.
As some of my friends know, I created a gofundme years ago and I appreciate those that have helped share it, and donate to it. I haven't solicited donations from friends on Facebook in well over a year but it's still active and explained a bit more of her cancer backstory. We started our gofundme goal years ago at $40k because that's how much was still owed on her house. At this point, mostly from just natural payments towards the balance but also some donations here, we've almost cut that in half. But the most immediate goal to avoid this foreclosure is $3726. (The larger $20k goal here represents her entire existing balance but the real immediate need very soon goal is $3726.)
In my past, I could've put that all on a credit card. That might have been like a day of Black Friday spending for me. But I no longer have resources like that after years of her medical issues. I have exhausted so many of my resources. I always had a plan B in my past for emergencies but I never ever planned for any kind of multiple year terminal illness. You just never.
And so I have to ask you, my friends, and her friends, and even just people that have had personal experiences with cancer to help. If you can't assist, I'd appreciate you sharing both with your own personal social media and maybe even some community groups. If everyone just ignores this, I really don't know what I'll do about my mom.
Creative suggestions are welcome but please understand I've already gone to things like churches, charities, etc. Even St. Vincent de Paul just cannot assist. I do hope that you can. Please help if you have the means. If you can't, please share. Even if a thousand people donated $2 or so, we could change someones life that deserves it so much.
