Hi, it's me, Ron Tate, your friendly ice cream man. I have a hard time asking for help, but I need help.

After 16 years of being the Hobart ice cream man, my freezer coils in my cold plate freezer have ruptured and it is not fixable, and they are very expensive. Also, while the van is still running, it needs a lot of work to be a safe ice cream truck. I'd like to buy a new one that will keep me doing what I love so much. Most of you who may see this know my story and why I love being an ice cream man. If I can't raise enough to keep going, my living expenses will be hard to keep up as well. Thank you to all who decide to help.
