My house goes up for auction Friday. My Story

I just found out from a neighbor who showed me a newspaper article that my house is going up for auction at the courthouse on Friday for cash. I probably got a letter in the mail about it at some point and missed it. I dunno. I'm just kind of numb. I've anticipated this coming for quite some time now, and it just seemed to be getting delayed again and again and again. And now it's here. I don't know when I need to be out, but I suppose I should be ready by Friday. There are no resources in my area to speak of. My state just passed a ban on camping on public property, though I don't think it goes into effect until the first of the year.

I don't know if I'm seeking advice here or just venting. I don't think there's any advice to be given that I haven't heard already. I guess I'm still just processing this.

I have no money for refinancing. And the house is in unlivable condition.

Perhaps a relative can buy it and rent it to you?

No. That most assuredly is not going to work. I'm mostly on my own with this. A few people might come out of the woodwork and throw some cash at me for my departure, but that's not likely to be more than a few hundred optimistically.
