At some point in my life, I had the roof of my appartment literally fell on me, lost my job and my girlfriend... Thanks to some friends and family I did not become homeless but I was inches of that. Now I have a company that did pretty well (bootstrapped) and now I'm building a new startup. I have one kid and I own my appartment.

Did you sue the owner of the apartment? That'd be my first act if a roof "literally fell" upon me.

Also, was your girlfriend in the apartment at the time? ie was the loss related to the collapsed roof or did one of you leave the other?

I've been wronged as well when poor. You can't be made whole through the legal system if you don't have money.
