Help my dreams come true! Every single $$$ helps!!

Update. WE HAVE A TRAILER!!. We have a trailer but it needs work. I started working on getting it up and running last summer and ran into a series of health troubles. I had a problem with my IUD that led to other health complications. After 3 surgeries we realized all that work was for nothing and I would need to go in for what would hopefully be my last surgery. In the span of 6 months I had 4 surgeries. my final one being a hysterectomy. I still transport both my boys. My oldest to the job he got at the school he graduated from! And my youngest to school. We have a few more goals we have added to our list after our trailer is up and going.

I thank all you who have helped so far I can not thank you enough! Those funds have gone into purchasing things for the trailer. Every dollar literally has helped. We bought new parts for a water heater, pins to make sure the trailer is secure! We can not thank you enough and can't wait to invite everyone to our grand opening!!!

My name is Kim. I'm here today asking for help. I want to start a food truck. The truck itself is about 50000. So in the meantime I would like to start my business out of a shared commercial kitchen to earn the funds to get a truck. I always wanted to start my own food business but was scared to do so. I was a bus driver until last year and had to stop to be able to transport my kids from school. I have 2 special needs boys who attend school In another district to get the help they need. Prior to that I had to take time off to be my dad's hospice nurse. Putting a hold on funds and my dreams. I was always around food growing up. It is something that feeds my soul and I'm hoping to feed others with it one day as well. All start up funds will go to obtain licenses needed to operate and insurance. If we surpass the goal we will put funding towards food truck. I know some may say it's not big but to us it's huge. Once I have an established business with enough income coming in our goals become much bigger. We plan on fostering older children to help them get a better footing into being a successful adult. Thank you for your time and help!

I know some people are like what makes you different. I was raised in home surrounded my cambodian immigrants who lived the khmer Rouge. They taught me so much along the way. One of my main dishes is egg rolls but I have many more. After I finish my 1st 2 goals my 3rd will be to get a 2nd truck completely gluten free

Update 3/28/2024

This journey has been a rough one. I know many people ask why not just apply for loans. Well because I don't have the greatest credit. When I left my job it left one person paying all the bills with living costs rising. It's my dream to have this truck and be able to give back to the community one day. I have so many things I want to be able to share but not having a truck/trailer is a huge set back!!! We have saved about 1/4 of what we need for a vehicle that would keep us up and going for the long hall. Otherwise we have found a few smaller that will get us by. Thank you to those who help us with this dream ❤️ thank you to those who have been following from the beginning and watched us grow from our little bin to our cart now help us grow into our next step of the journey!!!!

I've had to put the journey on hold for medical reasons a few times unfortunately setting us back in our goals. Right now I currently sell food at various bars throughout saint paul but a truck would take my families goal to the next step. Every single dollar helps. Please share, donate and Support
