Help me buy a food truck PLEASEEEE

Hello

My name is Tatiana. I am the proud owner of a Caribbean Fusion Street Food food truck called Mixt Caribbean Blends in Austin Tx . One of 4 black woman owned food trucks out here . What feels like a dream started in 2020 after abruptly getting fired from my job for contracting COVID as God would have it. 

Though it wasn’t an easy start by Gods grace He aligned all my steps and set me on this journey.  I used all and any financial means I had to get my current trailer to get started. I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs and with trial and error I learned from my every stripe. My faith grew strong as I never wavered from what I dreamed as my mission from God . 

The trailer was in an accident earlier this year though I was not at fault the person who struck me has refused to take responsibility leaving me with the burden of a completely messed up trailer that had to go for repair over 6 times just to run well enough to keep my commitments to my customers. Needless to say it was a very trying time and has taken a significant toll on me physically, financially, mentally, and emotionally. 

I have to travel daily with my trailer which not only places a heavy burden on the trailer but also on the truck pulling it. The truck I‘m using has been failing apart as well and I’ve had to continuously throw a lot of money into fixing it. The challenge is that my constant use of the truck and the trailer having recently been hit, despite the heavy cost of repairs I’ve been investing to keep and maintain them will not be able to sustain my needs much longer. 

This is my only source of income therefore If I don’t work I don’t make money if I don’t make money I my every effort is stunted and I’m back to square one. 

I say all of that to say this . The truck that I just recently found is the reason for my plea. It is a rarity to find a self sustained truck that is reasonably priced and is a blank canvas for me to start a fresh for the new year. To be able to drive the truck itself instead of hauling a trailer freeing me from the added burden of trucking a trailer from behind is like dream come true. I’ve been looking into trucks for the past year and just didn’t know how I would be able to get one so I woke up this morning saw the pictures of this truck and said all I can do is try.  So this is me trying ! Anything will help .

This is not a hobby but my dream and my passion. I genuinely love cooking and tending to people and feeding their souls. If you know me and know nothing else you know this to be true! 

I believe with all my heart that this is what I’m supposed to do though I just need a little help getting there. 

I’m not usually one to ask for help but as I previously said all I can do is ask.

if you do donate you are truly appreciated if you can’t and wanted to I completely understand, I’ve been there. 

May God be with you all and bless you in all your dreams and day to day life.

Happy holidays with love

Tatiana
