      I'm looking for a business grant for my pilot car business. It's a good business, only I haven't been able to 'fund' it the last two years (reliable transportation). I'm a full time college student engaged to a truck driver with two children. His son (10) lives here with us and his daughter (7) lives with her mother at this time. Our house is falling apart (lliterally). The foundation has sunk about a foot from the front of the house to the back. We have no stove and our water heater is running on propane. Thank God for free computers (my fiance's brother was killed so we are using his old one) and $7 a month dial up! We are on well water here (came with the house) we had a water leak and in one month ran up $1085.09 water bill (??) We both have 20+ year old cars, both on their last leg, no tags or insurance. My fiance hurt his back framing houses when he was younger and is out of work quite often. We are both having trouble finding jobs to pay the utility bills (basic phone service and electric) much less the medical. I am diabetic and have minor mental disabilities (severe Adult ADHD, Bi-Polar Disprder), breathing problems, stomach ulcers and scoliosis. Neither of us drink or use drugs (Advil is the 'hard stuff' around here) and neither of us are on any type of medication or treatment, if we get sick, we wait it out. I don't just want free money I want to fix my car or invest in a pick-up to get my business running again so that one of us has steady work. I have no clue how to go about finding a grant for this. As (technically) a single female student/business owner, finding grants shouldn't be hard to do, I simply do not know where to start. I'm thankful for what we have, but we are barely eating some months. By the way, I'm 23 and a freshman. Thank you for reading this, I really do appreciate it. God Bless, Scared to Death in OK

          First thing I would like to say is congrats for going back to school and trying to start your own business with some of the odds that are against you. One thing you may want to strat with is your local DHS office. Your fiance is a single father they should be able to help him with food, medical and possibly some of the home repairs. Its not looking for a handout, but simply using resources available to you when you need them and as long as you don't make a life of it that is ok. With some things if they cant help they will help you find someone who can.

          In regards to your business, check your college. I attend school in Michigan and my college has an office right on campus that helps with small businesses.

          I hope this has helped you somewhat
