Overview
I am a mother of 6 children. I recently separated from my abusive husband. Unfortunately, due to family circumstances, I dropped out of school. I have been unemployed for several years and have not been able to find work.
My goal is to start a small business retailing coal or firewood. Starting a small business is the best way for me to earn a living. I also need to rent a place on my own as I am currently living with a friend.
I need startup capital or funds to purchase firewood wholesale. Funds will also help me rent a small apartment for me and my kids.
Meeting this need will help me become independent and take care of my children. It will help restore my dignity and feed my children.
