Sorry to hear the race didn't happen after all your training and financial commitment. But as the others said, you did the right thing, and good comes back to you (or, "what goes around comes around").
I'm a total newbie to open water races, so please pardon any ignorance displayed in the questions below:
With all the money outlay, it's probably foolish to ask, but would there be other long races coming up soon where you could put your training to use? Maybe not as long as 28.5 miles, but something that's a good size challenge and not too far for you to travel....
It's not the same, but then maybe it will be one of those serendipitous surprises.
