para ayudarme a estabilizarme en este país
"Cuando llegue a este gran país, llegué al departamento de mi hermana ubicado en xxx y nos dejó vivir en su departamento hasta que se venciera ese contrato. Yo no tenía trabajo, asistía al college a estudiar inglés. Mi hermana pagaba todos los billes y la renta de ese departamento, a pesar que ella ya no vivía allí, esto lo hizo **para ayudarme a estabilizarme en este país**, entendiendo que los ingresos que mi esposa percibía con las justas nos alcanzaba para alimentación. "
Estoy tratando de encontrar una expresión equivalente, pero estoy tapada. Había considerado "get back on track" o "restart", pero creo que no transmiten exactamente la idea.
Mil gracias por sus sugerencias. Estoy a punto de entregar y lamentablemente no se me ocurrió hacer la consulta antes, porque pensé que resolvería la duda por mi cuenta

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

to help me get settled in this country
My most pleasant discovery so far, though, is that many of the Mainers I’ve met have bent over backwards to help me get settled here.
