Make contact with your lender as soon as you feel there may be a problem. They may have options you are unaware of.

Meet with or contact a HUD-approved counselor. They can help you to understand the best options for you, helping to organize your finances as well.
Prioritize your spending to avoid the prospect of foreclosure. This is especially helpful if you can reduce in less important areas to help you to get back on top of your mortgage.
Think about what assets you have that can also be used to help to reinstate your loan. Maybe this is jewelery or a car.
Steer clear of foreclosure prevention groups that may not be legitimate businesses. They charge large fees and may accomplish little or nothing for you.
Be wary of foreclosure recovery. Avoid these scams. Especially never sign any documents until you have met with a lawyer who can fully understand what you are signing up for.
