F!%# bro, that sucks. If I had a job to offer, I'd try to help, but I'm in the middle of the bootstrapped, funded-by-my-dayjob model myself, so I have no money to employ anybody. All I can offer is my best wishes and encouragement. The HN community is really awesome, so I'd bet there's a good chance somebody here can help you out. Keep your head up, things will get better!

Oh, and if you've worked on anything open-source, or you have any code you can open, make sure you put it up on GitHub so you can show it off. Code talks and bullshit walks, as they say.
