Major Food Truck Repair

Hi, my name is Adriana and I'm the owner of Frybread Fanatics. I'm in a tough circumstance and I'm asking for some help. I'm really embarrassed about doing this but I have to.. in order to save my business and mentorship program.

I recently found out that I need my DPF (diesel Particulate Filter) replaced with a new one. My truck will not work properly and limits my ability to drive more than 25-30 miles per hour. My biggest fear is not being able to work and support my family. The business supports myself and my kids and my Elderly mother who also works with me and contributes daily to help me out. It also allows me to be able to take her to doctor visits as she deals with a serious health concern. I unfortunately found out a few days ago that I'm also dealing with a serious health concern too. I would really appreciate any help in this matter as this is an expensive repair and I just don't have the financial capacity to resolve it myself because I recently had a rodent chew up wiring in the engine that also caused major expenses and repairs within the last 6 months and wiped out my savings. Unfortunately this leaves me in a desperate state as a business owner. If you choose to help this will not only help my business but it will also help my mentorship program that I run through this business. The mentorship provides jobs to our youth here in Laveen with the ability to work and learn the ropes of customer service, food safety, problem solving, teamwork and building a strong foundation of communication skills and self confidence and much, much more. The mentorship is a incentivized (paid) program designed to help teens with disabilities such as ADHD, Dyslexia, social disorders, behavioral issues & depression & self harm. Some of our staff are teens looking to earn money & gain job experience and are part time employees & not participating in the mentorship program. We have a talented group of individuals all working together that help make this business what it is. Any help that we receive will help with the repair of the food truck and the downtime we will be facing as the part has to be ordered from the dealer and then the installed. I will open from home to generate a small income while patiently waiting to be back up and running again. Thank you in advance for any contributions you make in helping us during this difficult time. We can't do it without your help. Help keep our small family owned business alive.
