Ok that was the first step, addmitting it, Now that i feel like a big peice poo. Let me tell a little about my issue. (you can contact me for more details.) Okay Rent is due, Im in a program through the housing authority, that helps me pay rent (i pay an amount based on my income they help me cover the rest) I recently changed residents and ive been here for 2 months now, The program has not kept up with their end and the owners have recieved no money. Well they want their money NOW. Like before the end of this month now. I let the program know and they told me that I am now liable to pay the full rental amount by myself until they decide to process their paperwork. (and i can Hope the owners will reimburse me or credit me when they recieve there payment.) Ok now i just got off with the owners again and they want the all the rent this week or they are going to evict me, because the bank will repo the house because they have not paid the mortage. If anyone knows a legal way of coming up with $5100 please let me know asap, heck any amount of money will be fine by me. I'll clean you house, retouch photos, build you a basic website. I just wont do sexual favors or sell drugs. PLEASE ANYONE IM BEGGING YOU I DONT WANT TO BE HOMELESS AGAIN WITH MY TWO KIDS. PLEASE ANYONE WHO CAN HELP TELL WHAT TO DO IF YOU KNOW!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH 

15,000 dollars in operating capitol to operate a restaurant

I have a small business located in Martinsville, IN.  I have a disability, and I have worked for several years through Vocational Rehabilitation to help other people with disabilities.  The state funds grew smaller, so I saw the need to hire two employees and expand in October, 2004.  We made a business plan, and tried to get grants, but anything we could find was for non-profits.  We built two websites, hoping to make money on those while waiting for the process for certifications to start home modification assessments, design, for aging and disabled for medicaid. So far, I have encumbered $100,000 already building small business.  It took so long to get the certifications we needed that, now that we have our certifications, and are starting to work the projects, I am running out of funds to pay my employees and keep my business going, not to mention all the loans I have incurred to pay my employees on startup.  We spent $6,000 on a grant consultant company that was a hoax, because all they could really offer was grants for non-profit.  We are not non-profit.  We are a for-profit, sole proprietor business which helps people with disabilities and aging. We now have our certifications, and have met with aging and disabled offices that will be using our services, but there will be more time involved in actually working those cases, billing, and receiving our money from the state.  I am out of resources at this point, and need help.
