Help keep the Roller rolling.
Donation protected
Hello, many of you know me. Lots of you do not. I've never been one thats found it easy to ask for help, in fact I all too often run myself physically and mentally into the ground. This adventure of " The Po'Boy Roller" has now become the hardest thing Ive ever done, as i find myself in a situation where my back is agaisnt a wall. Its always been a dream of mine to share my love of food and culinary skills with others through my own buisness. There has always been a passion within to serve others and i found the love that help me express that passion through working in the kitchens of senior communities. I, like many others, was forced out of healthcare becuase of Covid, it was this food truck that has helped me get through that loss. I put the same love and effort into this buisness that I was so happy to share with the thousands of residents lives i touched over the years through food.
The truck is experiencing transmission issues on an electrical or computer type level. We thought we had it fixed a week ago only to find out that not even 24 hrs after getting it back that wasnt the case. It has been in the shop since thursday and the labor costs to diagnose the problem have mounted to a point that I fear would mean the end of the truck.
I am a religious man, and have spent much of the last week in prayer, and general conversation with God asking for help, trying to find an anwser to these problems. I have felt led through the spirit and his divine grace to do something I've never done before. Call it pride, call it selfishness, but ive always felt that if I cant do it myself, then it must not be needing done and often give up, when, asking for help could sometimes be the anwser to the problem.
This money will go towards repairs of the truck only. If the goal os exceedes those funds will be put towards futher maintenance and repairs. To help ensure the buisness continues to grow. We opened in December and are a top 3 best food truck in Tulsa. Possibly voted #1. We'll find that out on the 1st.
I thank you all for you kindness and generosity. Even if you cant donate, i thank you for reading my story and the empathy you have shown through that. God Bless and thank you again.
