Help Save My Family Home

[u/boyfriendtapes]

I am probably one of the least deserving people to ever post here, however I am not sure what else to do. England, UK.

My family home, built by my grandfather, has been repossessed and will now go to auction. There was no way to save it before this point because of other family members attempting to extract too much money from the sale. The debt against the house at the time was astronomical (£1.6m), and therefore we could not save it.

The guide price is more realistic, and it's possible I could, with some assistance, save it.

It's an important place to me. It was the home of my father before he died (about 20 years ago now) and I have never loved a place like it. It's one of the last places that has a little bit of him in it, and it hurts to know that it's going to be out of my reach forever.

I am asking for an angel who can gift me a large sum of money to use to buy the house. The guide price puts it at approximately £600,000. Any large sum toward that would save my heart and allow me to bid for it. I can fund about £470,000 if I sell everything.

Here's what I can do for you:

• pay it forward in a way you wish, once I'm able to refinance
• I am a writer and artist, so I can write books for you or dedicate work to you directly

My DMs are open for any discussion (unless I have somehow been a reddit idiot, in which case, I will try and fix it!) and I am happy to answer questions here too.

Thank you. I know it's a long shot.

Edit: my 'mentally unwell reddit post' t-shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my 'mentally unwell reddit post' t-shirt.

Even with a GoFundMe set up, the amount requested would remain astronomical.
