What should I do about breaking my fast in Ramadan two years ago due to menstruation and not having made up for it yet, especially since I reside in America and cannot find poor Muslims to give charity to for each day?

You should hasten to make up for the missed fasts as soon as possible, while seeking forgiveness for the shortcoming of delaying the make-up until after the following Ramadan. Both fasting and feeding are obligatory. The expiation (kaffarah) should be given to the poor and needy in America, or sent to any Muslim country if they are not found there.
