I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. There are a lot of very caring people here, and as rebbetzin said, hopefully we can help you if you ever need it.
I would love to help you find some EE, but sadly I live in Idaho.
I would recommend researching some hatcheries in your area. If you can't find any with the breeds that you want, you could easily buy some peepers from an online hatchery. Hope you find what you are looking for! Having some chickies to take care of should really help bring a little happiness into you life during these tough times.
