Battered Barbara Seeks Business Help To Take Over Store About To Close

My name is Barbara Logsdon. I am trying to build my life, after being married to an abuser for almost 28 years.

I was beat, locked up and was not allowed any contact with any one for a long time. I have four children who are all grown.

My youngest was 18 when I finally escaped. That is with the help of one daughter-in-law. I was raised for six years in Foster Care. So I made a promise my children would grow up with both parents no matter what.

I know now that was not a bright idea.

What I want most is to be able to stand on my own. But I need help. There is a store in a little rural neighborhood. It has been there for over 30 years. Now the owners want to sell.

I would like to be able to keep this store open. A lot of people will be hurting when this store closes.

I also want to be a foster parent with an option to adopt. If I could somehow get the money for this place, I will be able to do both.

The store also has a 4-bedroom home. It will also be a shame for it to close, because at one time it was a one-room schoolhouse.

It has been renovated since then. God bless everyone who reads this. Thank you.
