I haven't had the lack of good luck you have had but know that this too shall pass. Four years ago this month my father died of Ahlzeimers. My brother and I spent many weeks looking for a place that he could call home that would be able to care for him with the knowledge of how to care for this type of patient. This was in Florida. He finally took the turn for the worse that said it was time to get him into hospice. A few weeks later he was gone. A few days later I had a stroke the size of a golf ball. Nine weeks later I went back to work, What a mistake that was. Two days later I was "laid off" as a cost saving strategy by the company. Hah!!! What a load of crap.

Fourteen months later I found work and have permanent damage from the stroke. I admire your tenacity. If I lived where you do I would vote for you as you are a caring, strong fighter. Keep it up. People will notice. Sadly, there are places like that institution that forged you into a student loan. They will get your comeuppance.
