Anything I can do on this foreclosure?

Let me start by saying that I’m new to dealing with foreclosures. I contacted someone in foreclosure yesterday and he stated that his condo had already been to auction a month earlier. According to my preforeclosure list, it showed his original loan and showed it going to auction in May. He told me that he is trying to come up with 15k to get his loan reinstated and to get his property back that he’s been paying on for 20 years.

Is there anything I can do to help him in some way? He told me that the persons that bought the property at auction are having some troubles and are trying to unload it quickly for some reason. I could go to them directly and purchase the property before May auction, BUT since the owner is trying to get his property back I don’t want to ruin his chances of that…
