Wow! You've had a lot on your plate! Thanks to your dogs, you're going to get through this. I'm glad you posted here, so me and others can chime in to help.

Well, first thing I would do is head for a library (but then, I'm a librarian). I'd go to the reference desk to find out what social services are available to me in Las Vegas and the area/county. I'd make copies or write down names and phone numbers to call when I got back home. Then I'd check out churches in the area. I'm a Lutheran preacher's kid, so I'd probably start with Lutheran ones, but would also be open to other churches, looking for a place where I could make a connection to a friendly community.

How am I doin' so far?
