Appalachian Chic Food Truck Engine
Donation protected
Hey Guys!
So my husband and I own and operate a local food truck here in Asheville NC that we've been running for a year and a half now. We had a new addition to our family as of August, that's Liam in the picture
We would like to reach out to our community, friends and family for some help as we have hit a few unfortunate events in a row recently that has put a strain on our business operations. First upset was when someone stole from our truck, costing us over $1500 in just equipment... and then very shortly thereafter our engine in our truck has gone out We are still trying to recoup from the theft alone. We are losing our only income by being out of business from our daily stops along with paid festivals that we are now missing. As a business owner many of you may know the struggles with the seasons and having to prepare for winter and why this is scaring us. We love serving our local WNC community and would love to continue serving it with your help. The cost of the engine is a huge set back for us and definitely going to hurt us.
We are asking for these funds just to help us pay for the engine alone and hopefully the income we do receive for the remainder of the season will hold us thru the winter. Helping us with this would not only help our small business survive but also you are supporting our new family. On top of that we would be ever so grateful for your support. Anything helps and thank you all so much for your love and support!
Sincerely
Chris, Stephanie & Liam❤️![](https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/15587785_1477508597.0457_funddescription.jpg)
