Insurance will not allow a claim as your damage was flood related. FEMA has rejected your claims (they came late and are leaving early). There were few rentals in the area even before the flooding and they were all expensive and require large fees to move in. Your family is sheltering in a small motel room in a city about 30 miles from where you lived. It is cold and wet (fresh snow) and temps are in the teens. There are no jobs (that you qualify for) and you have a high school education or less and no real experience ither than service work. You are too old (or otherwise not qualified to join he military). Most of your extended family, friends, and neighbors lived nearby and are in the same situation as you and really cannot help. What do you do?

Fint, most Americans can't imagine living the reality you describe.
