Oh sorry to hear that. The diferential on a Volvo usuallly lasts several thousand miles without so much as a drop of oil needed - unless the car sits for prolonged periods of time and the seals leak, then driven for a while as you did without checking.
I would scout the scrapyards for a used rear end. If you can get someone to put it in for less than a few hunderd, you could be on the right path. It would be too expensive to have yours fixed, and there should be a lot of them in good condition out there.
Given the other major maintenance items, you may consider cutting your losses....
Sorry.
