First, and foremost I would like to thank everyone that is taking time out of their day to notice my post. I understand completely that time is of value. It’s not normal of me to ask for help, as I always try to help others. I was raised to be frugal, and budget my money. My mom use to always say, if you have a dollar, save fifty cents. I was blessed beyond measures, having the opportunity to be raised by three generations of strong women. My great grandmother, grandmother, and mother. Little did I know growing up, that they were teaching me what would become my passion in life. Often the three of us spent time in the kitchen cooking. My great grandmother, and grandmother lived in the depression area. I was taught no matter how little we had, make the best of it, and you had to work for whatever you wanted. The two of them would get in the kitchen, literally take nothing, and turn it into something. My great grandmother would babysit me as a child, when my mother was working. For lunch sometimes she would feed me a piece of bread with bacon grease rubbed on it. That sandwich back then was the bomb. When I turned 14, I went to work at a little dinner in my neighborhood. I got hired working the register, and front counter. I didn’t want the job as the counter, I wanted a job in the kitchen. The owner thought I was to long. I finally got my way into the kitchen. I was the happiest girl ever. For me cooking in the kitchen wasn’t work, it was my passion. I enjoyed every minute of it. Over the years I have worked for others, making them money as a cook. I knew one day I wanted to pursue my dream, and open my own restaurant. I worked, saved up twenty five thousand dollars. After hitting my goal of saving up the money, I opened my own restaurant. One of the proudest days of my life. I knew I had worked hard to make it happen, and my dream was about to become reality. My great grandmother, and mother have passed away. My grandmother is 96, and it makes my heart so happy when she walks into my restaurant to eat. Sadly, I believe I should have waited, worked some more, and saved up a little more money. I opened up a year ago, and I have ran threw all that money. Mostly buying equipment, and inventory. Now I am behind on a few bills, and struggling to make ends meet. I think if I just had a little more capital, I would be alright. I refuse to give up on what I have worked so hard to accomplish. I know with my accomplishment one day I will also be able to pay it forward. If anyone could help me I would be greatly appreciated, I would keep you updated, and if you want pay you back. Thank you so much, Hawkins
