WHAT, NOW? i LIVE RURALLY AND POINT OF PURCHASE STAFF NOT TOO SWIFT...

I'll assume you have hot water flow to other faucets in the house, hot water to this faucet worked previously, and cold water flows at this faucet<?>. I'll further assume you haven't experienced sub-zero temperatures.
Then;
Check supply shut off (under sink) is open. Hot supply is "usually" to your left and cold is to your right. Twist valve CCW to open.
If there are no other shut off valves between this faucet and the hot water tank, then likely there's a blockage. It could be blocked anywhere between the hot water tank, up to the inside of the kitchen faucet valve. Most likely inside the kitchen valve, as it has the smallest passageways.
Depending on what brand of faucet you have you may need to replace the cartridge,moen and clones, or stem/cartridge on delta and similar. I would not replace the faucet until I was sure that you had hot water to the kitchen faucet and the faucet was going to cost more to repair then replace.
If you have supply valves for kitchen faucet I would shut them off and try to take faucet apart to determine where the hot water is stopping. Do not try to force things to much or you may make the faucet totally useless.
If you know what name brand your faucet is you can find several sites on u-tube that show good repair procedures. I hope this helps you. Thank you.
Turn the water off to your Kohler K-14030 faucet under the sink. Open the the faucet to make sure the water is completely shut off. Remove the small setscrew cover from the backside of the faucet handle. You should be able to remove it by hand. Insert an 1/8-inch hex wrench in through the opening and into the setscrew. Rotate the setscrew counterclockwise three full turns; you do not need to remove it. Lift the handle off the faucet. Unscrew the bonnet nut, or cover, from on top of the cartridge retaining nut; counterclockwise until removed. This nut should be remove by hand as well. Use a large adjustable wrench to unscrew the cartridge-retaining nut counterclockwise until removed. Grasp the cartridge stem with pliers and lift it out of the faucet body. You may need to gently rock it back and forth until the suction from the seal ring releases.
I don't know if this is your problem or not, But I had a new faucet and it did the same thing. I found little tiny pieces of polishing media stuck in side the faucet. Every time you turn on the water it comes out fast , then trickles, drove me nuts, I took it back and got another, no problem, hope this helps.
Turn the water off at the shut under the sink and open both faucets to drain line. Remove faucet handle and stem and look inside. There's probably something jamming the stem from turning. Remove that and reassemble.
Hello. When the pipe froze it may have dislodged a piece of scale or rust from inside the pipe. When the water flowed again the particle moved up to the small hole at the valve and caused a partial block. You'll have to shut off the water supply and disconnect the supply line on the hot side. You may be able to open the faucet and blow back through to try to remove the blockage. If this don't work remove the faucet handle and pull the cartdrige out to clean it. Remember to close the water supply.

I have moen kitchen faucet # 7560 and water pressure very low. What should I do? We check water flow in pipe it is ok. I changed cartridge as well as pipe nothing help. Please let me know. thanks
Here's the solution from Delta: On a two-handle kitchen or lavatory faucet, if the handles rotate in
the wrong direction, simply rotate the right stem stop assembly 180
degrees. This will change the rotation of the handle to the other
direction.
