What kind of advice are you looking for? Do you have a question?
You have a 60 day grace period after your OPT expires. After that, you will be out of status. If you stay longer than the grace period, you may have problems in the future if you apply for any sort of nonimmigrant or immigrant visa.

You're in a tough situation, sorry to hear that. You can try finding a job with a nonprofit organization or higher education (universities) that can sponsor an H1B Visa. They are exempt from the H1B cap.
You could go back to school and get another Master's? Deadlines are usually around november and you could maybe still use your existing GRE score. Not a great solution, but it's one that's possible. With a Master's , you can't go back to a community college, so you have less options as far as what you can study.
There may be other options since Immigration laws and circumstances are many, but I don't know. A lawyer would probably be able to tell you if you have other options.
