it would probably help also if you said what town this is in..I seem to remember Redwing Minnesota, but that might have changed or be wrong. Someone here knows about what community colleges might offer for training; someone might have a cousin who works in a nursing home or whatever; someone might know something about employment security issues....you're on the right track. You have a roof over your head and it seems like your allergies are doing OK there. That is huge progress. You don't have to worry about food it seems. You have married a good man. So the only problem that remains is money and taking care of your health. And immigration. Are you close to Canada? If you needed health care can you get to it in Canada?

Check into bartering. You have web skills and your husband has skills in some areas that we don't know for sure yet what they are, and there is a lot you need now, especially naturopathic medical care I would think. What is in your area? But also, your husband needs haircuts, you need dental work, you could both use a weekend or week at a nice winter lodge, etc. etc. mg
