I hate having to ask but i need HELP!!!!!!

First off let me start by saying I AM NOT TRYING TO SCAM ANYONE, this is a legitiment problem I am having, and it is hard for me to have to ask for help, but there comes a time when you have to put pride in your back pocket and ask for help.

I've hit that point. Im not looking to rip any one off, or to get rich, this is legit< right now i have no idea how I am going to raise that much money in that short of time. I cant get a loan my credit isnt worth squat, Ive tried asking my family they cant help me, my wifes mother is trying to help us but she keeps running into brick walls, so she suggested we try making a web page asking for help. Last septemeber I found a home for my family to move into, where I knew they would be able to be safe while I was gone working on the road. I am a truck driver, and gone all but maybe at the most 4 days a month. We started buying our house in Jan. 2003, 3 weeks ago my wife was served with eviction papers telling us we have to move out of our home, because the people we are buying the house from have not paid the property taxes on in since 1999, and the state of Minnesota has taken over the ownership of the house. Now here is the problem I am having. The state of Minnesota wants me to come up with $6000.00 by the 15th of August to pay of the back property taxes, and if I cant my wife and 2 sons will be out in the street with no where to live,because they will force the eviction. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN COME UP WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY IN THAT SHORT OF TIME BY MYSELF. We tried to work with the state to arrange a payment agreement with them so that we wont lose our home and the money we have invested in to it, but they want the $6000.00 up front and arent willing to work with us one bit. I feel like a complete failure for doing this but I amd asking for help if anyone could PLEASE help me raise the money by the 15th of aug I would really apprciate it. Im not looking for hand outs any one who can find it in their hearts to help me will be paid back, it might take me a little while BUT I WILL PAY YOU BACK!!!!! just a $1 or 2 from anyone who reads this would help me out alot.
