Financial Crisis

Hello, female 26 yo here

First time writing something here because I don't know where else I can talk about this matter.

I'm really struggling financially right now. Recently my dad passed away and we were left with significant debt, putting our only home at risk of foreclosure.

In every other day, people would come to our house asking us to pay back the debt my dad has.

I'm just an office worker here, working 9-5 and then doing a part time job after that from 7-midnight.

I am trying my best to pay back the debt that my dad has one by one and it is still on going. But today I just found out that the foreclosure period is going to an end and I think after this we really are going to lose the house.

I don't think I can bear losing the house because it's the house that I grew up in, the house where my grandpa used to live and also the house where my dad passed away. My dad passed away because of a heart attack. After his passing, I just found out how heavy his life was and how hard it was for him to hide it from us-his own family. Also now my mom is caring for my grandma who's suffering from dementia.

I'm paying back my dad's debt to some people so it's impossible to afford to rent a place to live if we ever lose the house.

I don't know.. I think I'm just so stressed out right now. The deadline of the house foreclosure is July 10th.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?
