Need help with falling fence

Hi all,

I have a problem that I need some input with. I am not that handy, but I can get my way around lol. I have a fence in my backyard that has been falling into my yard. The previous owners behind me used to be the party animals and one drunken night supposedly they had a game of running into the fence for whatever reason. This is why the fence is the way it is now and with recent rains, it doesn't have long. Is there anything I can do to shore this thing up in the mean time? I don't have the funds currently to replace so I'm looking for some options. Thanks

You could take a 2x4 [at an angle] to prop it up and then see if tamping the dirt around the post will help. If the post is rotten/cracked it might only stay straight while the prop is in place.
