That terrible to hear. I'm afraid I don't have money that I could contribute, 
but if I can be of help in some other way, please let me know. I don't know

crushed if this happened to me.

Isaiah 2:11 Human pride will be brought down, 
      and human arrogance will be humbled. 
   Only the LORD will be exalted 
      on that day of judgment.
