You may be a little late on this. The taxing authority is less likely to deal with you this close to the end. I would recommend your contacting your county's local bar association and see if you can get someone to assist you there. You may also consider preparing for a redemption purchase, if you cannot afford to pay all due amounts now. Good luck.
First call the trustee to see if he/she will remove the property from the sale. Your only other option is to hire an attorney and obtain a restraining order, but you will need a good reason for the judge to grant it.
