Repairing foundation

My son's house has a combination stone/concrete foundation that is in need of repair. The sewer line, made out of clay tiles, collapsed and washed away some of the dirt that supported some of the foundation wall. The wall has a large chunk of concrete that is still in the foundation, but is loose and cracked all the way around. The dirt below this piece is washed away.



Looking for advice on how to fix? It appears this portion of the wall is about 2' thick at the bottom and tapers to about 1' at the top. The wall is about 3.5' ft tall. We can tell that this loose chunk has been attempted to be patched in place previously.



Good news, it the sewer line has been fixed with 4" PVC successfully. Just need to figure out how/what to do with this washed out area. Almost looks like it needs formed up and a new wall built.



Any help/suggestions/comments welcome.
