I am not sure how to do this - you guess it - I'm a newbie!

Well, first off all I am a single parent of four awesome kids. My oldest is 13 yrs old, then I have twin boys who are 11 yrs old and my little one just turned 7 yrs old. I can't believe that coming this new school yr I will have three in middle school! I feel so old...

We have been struggling on and off for the past four yrs but have mangaged to surface and stay afloat. I married pretty young and I had the whole illusion that I would live happily ever after but that wasn't the case. After our 10 yr anniversary we decided to split and I found myself an apartment for myself and my kids. It wasn't until 2 yrs ago that things turned for the worst. My then astrange husband threaten me and tried to run us off the road and that was it. I was granted a permanant restraining order against him and I haven't seen him since but he sure has made my life a misery. I am constantly paranoid and looking over my shoulder. I live in fear that he will kidnap my kids. I have nightmares almost every night that he is trying to kill me so in some ways I think he has succeeded. I have yet to find an answer to my daily struggles (emotional ones). I have seen myself struggle with our daily expenses and my low income is no help...  The last time our electricity got shut off - I had to lie to the kids and say that the whole apartment complex was without power for some reason. We spent almost 30 hrs w/o power. It's amazing how much we depend on electricity and wouldn't you know it that my apartment is equipped with an electric stove... *sigh*

Well, I apologize for long entry but hopefully this will be a place where I can let out all my emotional stress day in and day out. 

Thank you for reading/hearing my post.

Hello.  First, I am in need, but my needs are pretty structured as I have been working on them for 6 months to this day.  I had to make sure to get it all in place so that I could present it as well as possible with as much knowledge as possible.

I have 6 children, I was married for almost 17 years to someone who became abusive the last 10 of it.  As time went, it worsened.  After finding out he was touching two of my daughters (and HIS) inappropriately, I fled.  It was the BEST thing I ever had done.  But, in the process, I lost all of my credit, every penny in the bank and gave him everything in order to be free of him and to get full custody of the kids.  I would give it all away again... I do NOT regret it.  The only thing that I DO hate about it is that it is extremely difficult to support my kids on even on average pay and to be able to get ahead.  It makes me feel so terrible to sometimes not be able to afford deodorant or normal things that teenagers and children need.

I worked with my grandmother in her cafe for 17 years, every day, 7 days a week.  After marrying I raised my kids and have been out of the work force.  Needless to say, Florida's economy is extremely bad and I find myself struggling.  My dream of owning my business had declined because I felt it was hopeless and I was meant to go through life barely getting by, but then my girls have urged me to try every avenue to get help.  I've prayed and prayed, and somehow I landed here.

Here is my need:

I am  trying to obtain funding to get my business started.  It is a coffee shop/deli.  I have studied this business for 3 years now.  Coffee is the one small indulgence that even during a recession people will still purchase.  I am looking to relocate in a much more affordable state and have found a town in North Carolina that is perfect, and much more kid and God oriented than Florida.  It is a company with a meager start up fee, I can do it with as little as $10,000.00.  The average profits are well over what I have made at any job.  I have experience in the field, alot of it, I am business savvy, my teenage girls have offered to work there to get us on our feet and I also have constructed my business plan, down to the menu, recipes, clean up instructions, employee handbooks and training.  I have really thought this through and I a 100% confident in it.

Listen, I know that a lot of people just want money, but this is all very honest...  I would even be more than happy if anyone would supply the loan with equipment (buy the equipment, supply the receipt and consider it the cash loaned).  I am not a superficial person, I am all for buying quality used equipment.... I am very down to earth and reasonable.  I just need an angel to help me achieve my goal to help my children have a way to go to college and for me to be able to support them and know that I have arisen from the situation and work hard to overcome the situation that I am in.  I have no problem paying it back with interest or signing legal documentation that upon default the equipment be returned to you.  I would love to get grants, but it's so hard to find one.  I am going to have to relocate, so I know I will have moving expenses as well, so I have saved my taxes to cover it so that I do not have to borrow any more money from anyone.  I will only borrow what is necessary, I have marketing and sales experience from my college, I actually won 4th place at Nationals for business... so I do have knowledge with all business aspects.

 Listen, I am a very smart person and I don't want to say that I am the one that deserves the chance, I want to make it possible because my CHILDREN deserve the chance.  I do NOT want them to end up like me, I want them to see me come out of this strong, independent and further than I've ever been.  I want them to know that strength within themselves.

I would appreciate ANYONE who can make this a reality, no matter how small... even if you can send items that will help inventory, an espresso machine, coffee grinder, etc.... I will be grateful for ANY help.

Please email me at kc_mizzou_fan@hotmail.com.  I know they said not to use your email, because of spam, but I do believe the right person is out there who will read this, they have to be...  God has never been wrong.

All my thanks for any response.

PS  I also have character references, etc. if needed.  Please, no spammers or insincere people, respect me and my family as I would respect yours.  Thank you
