January 28, 2009		Time40Change I am a small restaurant Business Owner and employ 12 workers for tweenty years.. I am barely holding on, I will loose everything. Last year I was force to file bankruptcy. I'm unable to get a loan. We need help! We need to be able to borrow money to help our employees keep their job and a place to stay. I am the new face of America, a suffering Small Business Owner. My family and my staff will be in bad shape, should I have to close my doors.

January 30, 2009		PMN Usually we have more resources than we think while we are stressed about finances. Do you have friends who might volunteer some time to your shop? have you cut back on spending? have you contacted Oprah--~~I don't mean for money~~--she is just awesome with ideas how to grow a business. I am sympathetic to your story. God bless.
