Katrina,
While I don't have a similar experience to share, I do have a heart that has plenty of room for you and your family. I will be holding you close there. Please let us know how you are. Remember churches are around too as a resource for shelter, food, etc...and they love helping others! I wish you lived closer to me and I just bet other boomers here are thinking the same thing. We would surround you and help. For now, we will surround you with love.
