There has to be Government programs for someone like that because it could happen to anyone of US and at any time. That's why I believe that success is a combination of LUCK and hard work. A lot of successful people get all full of themselves believing that their success had nothing to do with luck. They pat themselves on the back and say, "look at me, I alone am responsible for my success". Personally, I am not inclined to believe them.
