Waveland, Mississippi

Waveland, Mississippi: "'I'm realizing that I have nothing left,' she says.

Money is a major stress, as she tries to care for her 4-year-old daughter who was traumatized by the storm.

'She can't have what she used to,' says Ball. '[I'm] just trying to redo it, just make her happy, really.'

The mayor says his toughest job right now is being a counselor to people who need a place to vent.

'Keep your chin up,' he tells one resident.

'I'm trying, but they condemn[ed] my house,' is one woman's reply.

Everyone in Waveland is in the same boat.

'Everybody has virtually lost everything they have,'"
