Help Jack Catalano stay in his house

Donation protected
My name is Jack C. Catalano. I'm 38 years old. I live in North Haven, CT. I was diagnosed with OCD in 2009 and it's been a struggle ever since. I've had just about every type of OCD you could have. I have it every day and it's very hard. I lived with my grandmother and my mother. My grandmother passed away in 2010 and my mother passed away on December 17,2017. I was very close to my mother. We spent 19 straight years every night in the same house. I lived with my mom. When I went on vacation, my mom went with me. When I took care of my grandparents when they got sick, my mother was right there with me, helping me. I miss her every day. She passed away from Uterine Cancer, Blood Clots and Kidney Failure. It's been so hard for me. My mother didn't have a will and her pension paid for the mortgage each month. When she passed away, her pension went away. I was unemployed taking care when she passed away. The thing is that I have a small part time job now but the bank is foreclosing on my house and I have nowhere to go. I'm trying to stay in my house if it's possible. I didn't need this. A foreclosure to go along with my Severe OCD and my mother dying. I'm ok. I'm on medication and I see a therapist. But the thing is that if I have a severe mental illness which I do, can the bank still kick me out? Would they kick somebody out with a mental illness and during Covid? My Severe OCD is major some days and actually gets worse when I'm worrying about something like this.  

I'm doing this fundraiser because I need to raise money to stay in my house. The thing is that I can start making monthly mortgage payments but it won't be enough. You maybe asking "why not just get a single apartment for yourself?" The truth is that it's too expensive to move, hire movers, plus they want first and last month's rent. It's cheaper to stay in the house. I also need this money for paying my bills as well. I don't drive so I'm pretty limited as far as where I could go that would be near my work.  Like I mentioned, I can't take anymore upheaval. I won't make it if I have to move and if I don't have nowhere to go. I don't want to be homeless.  I'm really scared that I'm going to be homeless. This money would go towards my bills and my mortgage. I need the money ASAP, so I could pay a monthly plus what I owe in back mortgage. My mother was my whole world and when she passed away, everything ended. I have no family. I don't see my father and I see my uncle once in a while but we stay apart because of Covid. I'm all alone in this world. By donating, it would show that I'm not in this alone. That I'm not all alone. I've never been on a date or had a first kiss. I have nobody to lean on. I have nobody to turn to.   Please if you can help me or spread the word around I'd appreciate it. Please, if you can donate, please donate. I'd be eternally grateful if you could help me.  If you can't, that's ok too.    Please help. Thank you.
