Family in Crisis

We are Phil, Kendra, and our baby is Brooklyn. We are a family that has moved from the corn fields of Nebraska to the deserts of Arizona. Well, not really moved being as we havent actually moved into the house we thought we were going to.....
We came down here with some "friends" of ours. They are from this area and had enough money to help with gas and food. So we figured sure yeah we will bring them..
Needless to say, that went horribly wrong. They disaapperaed and so did our Tax Return.
Any help to get this family back on track would be very much appreciated.
We are praying we hear from you.
