How much is at the stake?

Really sorry for your loss. I think that if your story is real and you can submit proof, there could be some possibility for you to even raise these funds someway with help from others.
It's most of my lifesavings, 1.55 Bitcoins. I planned my family's financial future around this Bitcoin.

I have the partial mkey hash that can be used to run BTCRecover without a wallet.dat .... and I have a huge array of possible password elements.

Assuming it is safe to offer this data on the forum, since it can't be accessed without the wallet.dat (right? correct me if i'm wrong) -- I'm wondering if offering an open bounty to the community would be a good way to fix this huge crisis.

I'm sure a BTCrecover expert can easily solve this password .... and I will give a huge tip to whoever solves it, and whoever helps gets the good deed of massively helping my entire family.

However, is the mkey and the password enough to generate private keys somehow? If it is, then this would be a really stupid idea.
